My first sight of Half Dome and Clouds Rest from Olmsted point was that of sheer elation. To see this vast glacier-carved canyon dropping down from below me, anchored on one side by the grand granite facade of Clouds Rest and the not-frequently-seen face of Half Dome made my jaw drop.
It was my first trip to the High Sierras of Yosemite and to see such magnificent beauty from the window of my car just seemed epic.
Fast forward 4 years later, my jaw still drops as I come around the corner and get the classic view into Olmsted point. The memories, seemingly freshly etched in my mind, just get reinforced everytime I see this.
The only difference this time: I got to see an epic sunset; the sky turned into colors that I had never seen before. Seemingly brown clouds that hung around low in the horizon just a few minutes before took on the wildest shades of orange and pink. I truly vished I was at Glacier Point seeing this magnificent color developing in the sky.
Nevertheless, this was my best attempt on a freezing winter evening in the High Sierras. A multiple explosure blend from bracketed images was needed to get some shadow details.
Yosemite National Park

After about 50km of heavy pack hiking in 2 days, the final 1 hour haul up to the "Nublet" in BC's Assiniboine provincial park took the last bit of energy I had left. After over an hour of trying to find an interesting comp I settled with this, and posted up for sunset. My buddy Steve and I started cursing due to the lack of any sort of light show, so I went up to his tripod area and checked out what he came up with. As we talked I notice some pink starting to form where no clouds were before and told him to "GET READY!" I then sprinted with my bum foot back to my still set up camera, and rattled off the best shot of my trip.
Such a sick place and I'll definitely be back. Preferably taking the helicopter in and saving my energy next time!
Thanks for looking!

I didn't plan to create more images today, but then this one popped up as I was going through todays's shots and it "begged" me to finish it.
