Leidig Meadow, Afternoon Light. Yosemite Valley, California. October 31, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

Late afternoon autumn light in Leidig Meadow, Yosemite Valley, California.

I’m going for a black and white rendition of this one since I like the layered tones receding in the afternoon light and haze – and because I’ve already worked up a few other color versions of more or less this scene. This photograph was made shooting almost directly into the relatively low autumn afternoon sun, creating some interesting exposure problems – to say the least!
