Ah it’s Late February again and our annual winter trip to Yosemite Valley. I have to say while we were planning a quick trip I was hoping to get another crack at the fire falls phenomenon but as usual my luck didn’t hold and we have very cloudy two days at the park. So we decided to do play tourist and enjoy the park, or that’s what my wife thought we were doing.

The problem with me is as soon as we reached Yosemite, it was like seeing the place for the first time again. I was delighted that I had interesting cloud formations to shoot and went into full fledged photographer mode, much to my wife’s irritation. For some reason she decided to put up with me and only ranted at me once.

Any ways lets get back to the shot, this is a pano stitch combining almost 75 shots. I have always found this outlook interesting but the light here had always been tricky so I had to resort to a combination of HDR and inventive use of my ND grad filters. So I had taken three panorama shots combining 25 shots and then vertically combined them to get this final image. It was really a nerve wracking shot to take but I was very delighted the way this turned out. I hope you all enjoy the image..
