I was interested to read that he really loves November photography in The Valley – as it is also at the top of my list of great times for photography there. Right at the beginning of the month I love to shoot the fall colors – wonderful big leaf maples, red leaves of dogwood trees, and the brown to golden colors of the oaks and the dry meadows. I find the weather during this month to be some of the most conducive to photography… basically you can run into almost anything: the first real snows of the season, arriving and clearing storms ringing the Valley walls with clouds, beautiful golden light of autumn, waterfalls that may come back to life after autumn rain, and much more.
Micheal Frye (author of the well-known book on photographing in Yosemite, “The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite”) reports at his web site that the Ansel Adams Gallery in The Valley will feature an exhibit of his work, “Color Light and Form,” from August 20 through October 4, with a reception for Frye on Friday, August 28th, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
For a report on an entirely different category of camera than most of us use, take a look at Michael Reichmann’s review of the Phase One P65+, 645 Camera, and Lenses. This is a medium format system that includes a Phase One/Mamiya medium format body, a 60MP true medium format digital back, and a lens system. Today it costs as much as a very, very nice car. One can hope that something equivalent may eventually be available for a price that the rest of us can contemplate affording.
You may have heard of Michael Frye – his is the book often recommended to those who want more information about shooting in Yosemite Valley, and he has a ton of experience in and knowledge of The Valley. I see that he has started new blog and that there is a RSS feed. If you photograph in The Valley and want up to date info from someone who knows his stuff, take a look.
