Yosemite Falls & Swinging Bridge - Yosemite National Park California
Best Viewed On Black | My Photostream on Black | Desktop Wallpaper
It was a tranquil early morning in Yosemite but not as tranquil as a
photographer might like. Yosemite's famous Swinging Bridge was bustling
with park visitors taking in the view of stunning Yosemite Falls. I
however was determined to get a shot of the reflections of the falls in the
shaded waters downstream from the bridge and wanted to get that magical
early morning light. It took a lot of patience but I was finally able to
get the shot. I used several ND filters to slow the shutter speed and
bring out the reflection of Yosemite Falls and the surrounding forest in the
picture. I was pleased when I got home to discover the bright green new
leaves on the aspens gave the image a special glow. Yosemite falls
blurred nicely under the slow shutter speed. Yosemite Falls thundered
continuously throughout Yosemite Valley all day but are especially loud at
this time in the morning. Such a great place to spend a morning even if
it was waiting for visitors to take their shot from the bridge then move on.
