Photographing Yosemite in Winter Podcast
As if on cue (given my recent and upcoming Yosemite photographic expeditions) Jim Goldstein has released a new installment of the EXIF and Beyond Podcasts, this one devoted to Yosemite Winter Photos. (My copy is downloading as I write this, and I plan to listen to it on the bus to work tomorrow.)
One of the great things about Yosemite Valley is that the best times of year there are not, for the most part, the most crowded. (One exception can be early June in a great waterfall year.) I just returned from a fall foliage shoot there and I can’t imagine the Valley being any more beautiful… unless it is right after a winter snowfall.

In early October I was driving back from two days of photographing aspens in the eastern Sierra. I had finished for the day – or so I thought – when I came upon Olmsted Point and saw Half Dome softly illuminated by the very last pale light of the sunset.
