Yosemite

[fightheheathens]

So i took a trip to Yosemite in Jan, then i went to Europe before i could edit the shots and im just now getting around to that.....
i think i got a little burned out on editing from all my Europe shots

anyway C&C would be much appreciated

I believe this is a manzanita tree

El Cap

The Valley with El Cap to the left and Half Dome off in the Distance

and my fav, we hiked up to the base of El Cap to pay homage because i'm a climber and i was with other climbers. If you dont know, El Cap is a very famous climbing route...something like 3,800 feet of climbing. So we climbed up the first 20 or so feet of the route to a ledge and thats where this pic is from. Its of the directly across the valley from El Capitan. I think what you are looking at is Cathedral Rocks or Cathedral Spires

Nice shots, but I find it hard to find the focal point in Number one.

Great shots, I agree with the focus on the first one and I love the contrast in the el cap shot. I won't comment on the brightness/white balance cause im not on a calibrated monitor and I'm pretty sure the one im on reads dark. But great compositions. I feel that first the intented subject was the wood at the bottom which is much darker in relation to the top and I would have thought it would be the other way around. I wonder what F-stop you shot at and how far away you were? But I really love the el cap shot (#2).
