Photo of the Month

Nikon D610, Sigma 50-150 170mm f/8 1/10 ISO 100 Manfrotto tripod

This was the second year I attempted to photograph the “firefall at Yosemite. ( Previously, a cloud blocked the sun shining on the waterfall to create the firefall illusion.) For this photo, it was on the fourth day of trying to get “the” shot in Yosemite. The crowds of people overwhelmed the rangers as well as me. A friend showed me his “secret” spot on a hill above the crowds across from the firefall. Each day the firefall looked different from the winds blowing mist while the setting sun shined through. With only one other photographer nearby, I happily was able to capture this memorable image.
