I'm watching them from a new computer that is not caliberated. but some of them looks like taken midday, with harsh lighting. Makes it hard to get all them scene within exposure.
I really like the third one though. And they bring back fond memories, thanks for posting

Yes, you're right, although I remember Yoshemite as quite rainy... After all those days in canyons and deserts with full sun this was a rather different experience....

Fantastic place!

Rense, I've enjoyed seeing these series you have posted of your trip. It's nice to see an outsiders view.

sharko · 03-17-2009, 11:37 AM

Nice pictures. I remember going there a few years back before I got into photography and that second scene brings back good memories. I feel a need to go back now...this time armed with some photo gear

Thanks Gary! I loved the US and I would go back if I got the opportunity. In fact, In Yoshemite there was a job which I could apply on, but I didn't. Too young, other duties....

Thanks Sharko. We could go together

Wow, great series Rense. I particularly enjoyed numbers 2 and 3.

**Rense** · 03-18-2009, 01:13 AM

Thanks Jer! Number 3 is my own favorite. It is how I remember the place....

I think it is just the new computer I gotta get used to. Seeing them on a different monitor, the weather looks more damp and moisture filled. I really like nr. 5 as well, would look great in a print

**sureshgvv** · 03-18-2009, 04:14 AM

Some nice shots, like #2 and #3

Yes Dave, that would be nice.... Thanks anyways!

Those are some serious pine cones! Almost feel like you should have a helmet on when you're in those areas

Good that you included your boot to give some perspective. I really liked #3 and the second to last... I must go there sometime - I've lived in this country too long to not take the time to go there.

I enjoyed the entire series Rense, thank you for sharing.
