My earlier post on Yosemite Falls can be found here.
Back in 1990 there was a very large parking lot close by the falls. That’s gone now, so early in the morning of May 14, 2008 (Wednesday) I parked in the Yosemite Lodge parking lot and walked across the street towards the falls. There was only one other person at the falls: a photographer (with tripod). Why was I not surprised? The path is directly in front of the falls, revealing sheets and cascades of falling water. So the only choice to be made was one of framing the subject.
For this picture I used a tripod, of course, with the camera set at 1/15th second shutter speed, F8 aperture.
What was the old photographic maxim? "F8, and be there."
