A Note About Current Photographs

At this web site you’ll generally be looking at photos I shot a few weeks or even a month ago. When I return from a shoot I spend a few days starting to get the image in order, selecting my favorites, and doing some initial work on them – and then I post them into the queue at this blog. The current images mostly come from a couple of weekends in Yosemite Valley near the beginning of November. I was in Southern California last weekend, and I have a few images from the Getty Center that will be posted here before too long.

Reminder: Pigeon Point Lighthouse Tonight

I earlier linked to Andy Fraser’s post about the Pigeon Point lighthouse event at which the original fresnel lens beam is lighted. This is a reminder that the event is tonight. (I’ll be there.)

Glacier Point View, Morning

Glacier Point View, Morning. Yosemite National Park, California. November 4, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

A photograph from a series I made during a recent pre-dawn visit to Glacier Point in early November. The light was, of course, beautiful. I can strongly recommend an autumn visit to this location and at this hour. While Glacier Point is frequently a very busy place, crawling with tourists, there were only four of us there on this morning – and we got to enjoy the rare and wonderful experience of quietly enjoying dawn over the Sierra from a truly astonishing vantage point.

(A few practical issues: Check before going there this time of year; it won’t be long before winter snowfall closes the road to Glacier Point to all but hardy cross-country skiers. And, if you do go, dress warmly!)
