El Cap and Light, Yosemite National Park. Shot with a Sony α900 and a Sony 70-300 G lens. Image exposed at ISO 100 at f11 for 1 second.
Hi everyone and welcome to today’s post. I am a little behind these days and this will be my last post for the next tens days as I am heading off to Hawaii for work. I know what you are thinking. How nice. Well, yes it is but it is still work and it is a long, long flight. I will be quite busy but will try to get in some personal camera time. In any event today’s post is from the west coast and is a shot of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The shot is from Inspiration Point and was made as an incredible band of storms and clouds rolled over the valley. I watched for a while and began to notice some subtle breaks occur in the clouds. I shifted the camera over and put on my 70-300mm lens and framed El Cap just as a wave of light broke through the clouds and hit the side. Within minutes it was gone and the clouds thickened up. Just a bit of luck.
Thanks for stopping by today. We will see you in a few weeks.

Hi Bob! Great pic! The tones remind me of Ansel Adams pictures, beautiful! You have captured and reproduced the scene perfectly.
If you remember me, I wrote to you awhile ago, got your reply and thank you so much for the insight. I have much to learn, and could learn a lot from you I think. So sorry I haven’t gotten back to you. You said you’ll be in Hawaii for a while? If you remember, I’m in Hawaii, Waikiki to be exact. If I could be of any assistance to you please,please let me know! I would like to meet you at some time. If not this time, then another. Mahalo again!

Moses: how are you? Hope all is well. I am indeed in Waikiki. Have a nightmare schedule but perhaps could meet you for a coffee one evening. There is a Starbucks just around the corner from me-the one nearest the park.
Let me know. Thanks for the kind comments on El Cap. That beam of light was really amazing.
