Server Maintenance. Ugh…

There is nothing quite as much fun as clicking an “upgrade” button on your server only to have the result be that your site was upgraded to not working at all. Grumble, grumble…

Yes, the gallery is still not functional. Guess what I’m spending my day on…

Reply to Reader Question on Sensor Cleaning

Dario sent me some questions about sensor cleaning and I have posted a reply in my forum. (Also see this earlier post.)

Gallery May Be Unavailable Today

While I upgrade some site software today, the could be temporary interruptions in access to this site and especially to the gallery pages.

Glacier Point, Late Afternoon

Glacier Point, Afternoon
Glacier Point, Late Afternoon. Yosemite National Park, California. May 16, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

Black and white photograph of Glacier Point, strongly backlit by late afternoon light, with Yosemite Valley and Yosemite Falls beyond.

It is hard to imagine a more exposed or spectacular place to be than Glacier Point as the day comes to an end over the Yosemite Sierra. This photograph was made from this popular overlook high above the Valley, with strong backlight from the late afternoon sun and a bit of haze below.

(In my attempt to describe the precipitous location of this shot, this post originally contained a fun but accidental pun: ” This photograph – as exposed as it may seem…” To good to delete! ;-)
