Yosemite Rising

I know everyone comes away with the same shot of Yosemite Valley, but I had to try my hand at it. I made all my friends wake up at 4:30 and drive over to the vista point to ensure we would get a good spot. The problem was that it was the first day of daylight savings when the hour changes and the sun rise was an hour later than we all expected so we ended up standing in the dark cold for almost three hours waiting for the sun to rise. By the time it was coming up, all the guys were frozen and fed up with all the waiting, so I took a few quick last minute shots before a full mutiny ensued. I am glad I persisted =)
