A Slick Walk on the Mist Trail | Yosemite NP

The closer one gets to a waterfall, the wetter the air becomes, and the less inclined one should be to use her camera equipment. It was the end of May, and slippery footing and tremendous water spray were prevailing conditions as the Vernal Falls was at its peak.

 

While on the Mist Trail hike, I was forced to keep my camera inside a waterproof bag that was zipped into my jacket. These mists soaked through most everything. Obviously, to make this image, I had to remove the camera lens from the cover of the protective bag. It was mere seconds after removing it and composing and then the lens would become fogged. Challenging conditions in which to make photographs; as a result this was my last shot in the hike ascent.
