Our first trip to Yosemite - day 1
Now that we have our fuel-efficient Prius, we decided to start going on a couple of trips. May-June is the best time to visit Yosemite as the waterfalls and rivers are flowing at their greatest from the snow-melt in the mountains.
We've both been fans of waterfalls and flowing water for quite some time, so we took plenty of pictures (well over 600 in the weekend). These 4 pictures represent just a few moments from our first day.
I used this opportunity to expand my lens collection with the Canon 75-300 IS and Canon 10-22 EFS lenses... all the photos here were taken with those lenses.
The first photograph is a long exposure shot taken with the 75-300 from Cascade Creek on the way in to Yosemite Valley.
The second shot was another long exposure shot taken from Valley view in Yosemite Valley itself. You can see Bridal Veil Falls across the river.
The third shot is a short exposure close up of Bridal Veil Falls. As you approach the falls at this time of year, the mist beneath the falls turns into a heavy downpour, covering the path with a river of water.
Finally a close-up shot of Half-Dome from near Mirror Lake, with the moon slowly rising above the cliff face.
