Clearing Storm Half Dome Mono Vertical5226
The title is an obvious Ansel Adams rip-off, but really more of an homage to the Master. Ansel was a light chaser of the highest order. My skill level may relegate me to the level of an Ansel imitator, but I didn't come to Yosemite to just imitate Ansel Adams. I wanted to see how I would respond to the vistas that he saw, and create something that expressed my vision, informed by what his incredible images inspired in me. Never having been to Yosemite before, perhaps I can be forgiven for producing something a bit derivative. When I took this photo, it seemed obvious that it had to be monochrome in the end. Anyway, this is where my head is at right now, photographically.
