I really love the pics! The waterfalls are just breathtaking. And you saw a bear!!! I'll pass on the drink myself though.

Can't wait to see more photos.

Great shots, DP! You have such an incredible eye! I especially love how the tall trees framed the crowd at the bottom of the Yosemite Falls shot.

And I couldn't wait to see how the deer shots turned out. They're great!

Looks to me like you could have lead the Photography class you missed there. Can't wait to see more!

Thanks.

Disneyphile, I agree, your photos are beautiful!! I love them all but the deer one in the sunset, took my breath away!

Disneyphile · 04-19-2009, 06:04 PM

I got really lucky with the sunset deer one. Ken and I pulled over to just enjoy the sunset on the way back to the cabin. I took some other shots, and then two deer walked right into the area. Of course, I started snapping as many as possible at that moment. Nature seemed to have the perfect timing on this trip.

I think that is a nice bonus, that you have that memory of taking the photo.

It looks like you were able to catch the perfect shots as you were coming up and down from the valley during the sunsets? That is when I always notice a lot of people out, to get the perfect lighting reflecting. Did anyone get up super early to take shots? We've been our as early as 5:30 to try and see what we could find {mostly looking for bears...from the safety of the car, of course!}.

Where were the bears? We'd seen them down by the deli and post office. Only ones we've ever seen in Yosemite, 3 all within a matter of 10 minutes.

Thanks for sharing, I know it takes time to upload and post. :0)

Bambi X10! And a bear! And a big beefy squirrel!

The pics are beautiful. I haven't been to Yosemite in ages and now I really want to go back. All the waterfalls are just so gorgeous this time of year.

We usually hit the Tunnel View Overlook on our way to an from the Valley, but never really got there before noon on any of the days. So, I have some interesting shots under different lighting and weather conditions. I'll have to post some of them side-by-side for comparison, because it's really neat to see.

The bear in the posted photo was hanging around in a big field just south of Yosemite Village. The mom and cub were on the 41, just across the road from the John Muir/Roosevelt historical campsite marker. I took a few photos of them, but they were rather far away and it was fairly dark, so they're pretty blurry.

And Deebs - there are a TON more deer pics. I was literally 10 feet away from them in the meadow. They didn't even care that I was there.
