Yosemite Valley, Early Evening

Yosemite Valley, Early Evening. Yosemite National Park, California. Novemer 3, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

This is a late afternoon / early evening photograph of a grove of trees beyond a recently-burned meadow, with low-angle light from the far end of the Valley illuminating the trees. Although the colors of the scene were quite interesting (intense greens and some fall foliage, with the saturated late light) I like the more classic quality of the black and white version.

What’s In the Pipeline?

In order to continue posting daily photos, I generally must have a bunch of images “in the pipeline” and ready to post ahead of time. Consequently, the work that appears here was typically shot a few weeks or even a month ago. (The current images from Yosemite were shot during the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November.) Since that time I’ve shot a few other subjects, and they will appear soon: the Getty Center in Los Angeles, a few more of my oak tree photographs from the central California hills, and a series of photos of the Golden Gate bridge that I shot last week.
