Half Dome

[Indranil Sircar]

Another view of the much photographed vista at the Yosemite NP... This was taken from Glacier Point which typically opens in the May/June time frame once the ice has melted. This year it may be later with all the snow we had in March! As for the image, this is a stitched panorama I had taken in 2005 with the lenticular clouds in the bg. For processing I used multiple layers of Topaz simplify and adjust along with infocus. Used adjustment layers and masks for selective colors, saturation and curves. Hope you like it...

Beautiful scene Indranil, it brings back memories. I am definitely getting out there this year-do or die!!! Nice composition w/ plenty of detail in the peaks and valley.

Very nice pano Indranil! Beautiful scene, love that area but have not been there for a long time.

This is a spectacular view that I've never seen before. Nice work Indranil. I hope to get out there someday!

Really beautiful Indranil. On a clear day, you can see forever... It is such a great spot, and where else can you set up your tripod in the same spot used by Ansel Adams?

I like it very much. I've never been there but I love the wide feel of the place and looking down the valleys. The sky and clouds are beautiful. I think you've handled the treatment of it very nicely.
