Sightseeing


I was only able to get up one morning on our trip to take sunrise pictures. Â Unfortunate rain and arctic blast that sent cold temperatures all the way to Southern Florida didn’t help the situation, especially when I didn’t pack for 30 degree weather.

Here is Onward part 1.
The morning I traveled to Moraine Lake I knew I would not be able to get a typical sunrise. Â The sky was overcast and the wind was moving fast. Â Once I got there I decided to head down to the dock and capture a long exposure shot. Â I set up the camera and turned the timer to 10 minutes. Â Before you ask yourself, there is no way I could sit that still for 10 minutes. Â I added myself later to the shot.

You might wonder what is going on with the sky in this image. Â The image was taken early morning and smoke from nearby fires in British Columbia had covered the area. Â I obviously felt bad about the wild fires but from a photography standpoint it allowed for me to easily take an image in which the foreground was very clear and the background was in a slight haze.

This small chapel found on the grounds of Yosemite National Park is absolutely beautiful. Â It was snowing very hard while I was taking this picture (if you can zoom in on the chapel you can see). Â The chapel really sticks out amongst all the large snow covered trees.
