This is my take on the famous "Valley View" in Yosemite NP. Fall provides some nice colors, but the falls are lacking as evidenced by the barely visible Bridal Veil Falls in this image. However the late afternoon storm clouds and the Sun peaking in and out provided some nice warm lighting.
1DMK2 with 17-40 @ 20mm. Evaluative metering with ISO 400 f 16 and 1/200 on tripod in windy conditions due to storm. Image is full frame. I used a GND and polarizer. Post processing included levels, curves, burning the clouds in a separate layer and sharpening.
I can tell you honestly that the compressed jpeg does not look nearly as good as the 13 X 19 print I just made.
Thanks for looking. Your comments and input are greatly appreciated.
