Nice one, Marnie. Good colors and composition. The cloud adds a bit of
drama as well. Cheers, Chrisitne

Subject: PESO - Half Dome Pow
I just got back from a little 3 1/2 - 4 day trip to Yosemite.
I went 3 years ago in October and discovered then it was much easier to
get in the fall. So I thought I'd try it again. Only this time it was
MUCH
colder and I found it hard to walk around and take shots, I got so
chilled.
The second day it warmed up a little and there were clouds! (The first
day
and three years ago there were none, which is-not-good.)
Yosemite is dynamic range problem, the rocks reflect back a lot of light
and the pine trees are very dark. Three years ago I blew out tons of
shots.
This time around I used exposure lock as much as possible. Made a big
difference.
The title of this is more how I feel about it than anything -- that there
were clouds and that exposure lock was helping me solving the bright rock
problem.
This Half Dome taken in a field near Camp Curry. Not a preferred place to
take it. Probably because nothing shows scale. The only thing that shows
scale is that those little green things on top are pine trees.
