Cedar Point

Going back a couple of months, here is a shot from Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH.  One of the great aspects of shooting in the Central US is the amazing colors that happen at sunrise / sunset because the sun can get so low in the sky without being blocked by mountains.  This example was only touched up (other than a crop) to mainly remove some of the high ISO grain, a little saturation/contrast to enhance the detail in the low-ish left side of the photo and to remove the roller coaster's brightness from overpowering the sky (it's a yellow coaster).

This one was also up on Facebook in its completely unedited form if you're interested.

Mono Lake

Here is another shot near Mono Lake at sunrise.

Upper Yosemite Falls

Here is a shot of Upper Yosemite Falls.  As you can see we had some dicey weather while in Yosemite -- Afternoon thundershowers every day.  Once again, for almost Fall, this is a ton of water.

Lower Yosemite Falls

Here's a shot of Lower Yosemite Falls.  Taken on 9-11-2011, this is (from what I understand) quite a bit of water for this time of year.  There was still snow in the upper elevations that must have been melting as Yosemite Falls (upper/lower) is only fed by snow melt from the almost completely granite valley above it.

Been a while! We'll start this off again by putting up some pictures from a recent Yosemite trip. This first one is sunrise near Mono Lake, CA.
