"Water, Light and Textures" - Scenes from Yosemite National Park

[Sunnyvalejohn]

I just wanted to share a few new images from a new series I am debuting for my open house this weekend (in Sunnyvale) - "Water, Light and Textures." I shot these in Yosemite in January and finally finished them up. I have printed them all 20x30 (and larger) on canvas that I printed myself. Let me know which ones you like or head to my gallery and use the thumbs UP. I can't wait till Acadia!

My SmugMug "Water, Light and Textures" gallery is located here (http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/7554507_MVWMR).

Thanks,
John

1 - "Sunset Flowing" - Sunset on the Merced at Valley View. The reflected orange glow from El Capitan just lit up the Merced and I found this soothing image. This image is inspired by Charlie Cramer and Michael Frye.

2 - "Bridalveil Flows" - I found this little spot and just kept working it. Step to the right, step left, lower, higher. tilt.... I think I finally found the spot. This calm and soothing flow just curved right into my camera and up onto my wall.

3. "Sunrise over Cook's Meadow" - We were shooting in Cook's Meadow and the trees were just beautiful in the cold morning sky. I was looking around just trying to get this complex scene together. I saw trees towering above me, but then off in the distant were those green pines. The sun had just come up past the mountains and I captured this starburst through the trees.

4. - "Bridalveil Trickles" - Another spot along the water flowing down from Bridalveil falls. Finding big, huge pretty pictures in Yosemite is easy (and what everyone else has done). I was searching for those beautiful spots along the way. I know I am successful when I have captured one of those places and it reminds me where I want to be on a Friday afternoon.

Really nice series, I especially love #4, the water looks like it is coming out from within the rock. Nice colors all around.

Thanks for all the great feedback folks! I love waterfalls and I was really trying to do something different. I just kept working a few spots and I like what I came up with.

Interesting the first one didn't connect with folks as much - that is my favorite! I should call it Frye's Flows or Charlie's crevices since they shoot in that style! Canvas and big is the way to go!

I am exhibiting at my house in Sunnyvale. Address and details (http://sanfranciscobayareaphoto.blogspot.com/) are posted over on my blog (I need to post something in the forum!) Please stop by if you are in the area.

Cheers,
John
