Tunnel View

Yosemite National Park

I couldn’t resist posting this photo on my website. I also know that it's the most photographed place in Yosemite. Thousands of exactly the same pictures are taken every year right here. I’m still amazed by the view. First time I saw the Valley it was a springtime and the scenery was even greater because of the huge amount of water going down the waterfall on the right. Melting snow above the fall is the primary source for the water. When the snow is gone, so is the fall.
Elevation 4409ft (1343m)

Canon EOS 350D
1/4000s f/6.3 at 28.0mm iso400 full exif

Yes, I've taken some photos from that point as well, but it was in the middle of winter and then it didn't exactly look like this. I like seeing this place in all different seasons. It's my belief that the results are a bit different each time someone has taken a shot from there. So I find it interesting to see this one, and you've done a great job capturing it your way. V

You need never apologize for posting an image you like, Alina, even it others have made essentially the same photograph. The seasons change, waterflow changes, and even a small shift in vantage point can separate on view
from another. I took one from here as well -- it is athttp://www.pbase.com/image/35604180 I used a longer focal length, added more of the tree, and dared to make the famous landmarks softer than my foreground trees.
