Below are two images I took while in Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite on the morning after doing astrophotography at Minaret Vista in Mammoth Lakes. Watching a sunrise on a granite dome in the Yosemite high country is always amazing! Have a great week everyone!

Below is an image from my second night of astrophotography while in Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes in June. The image is taken from Minaret Vista at Mammoth Mountain. You can see the light at the gondola station at the top of Mammoth Mountain and lights at Mammoth Mountain Lodge ski area. I stayed out there […]

Below is another image I took my first night at Tunnel View in Yosemite in June. I’m still trying to figure out how to post-process images for astrophotography, so it may take me a while to get it exactly right. However I do like this one. Another image below I took along the Merced River […]

My first night in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in June was (of course) in Yosemite! I arrived at Tunnel View at around 2am and quickly setup my tripod. Wouldn’t you know I was the only person in the area except for one RV that was tucked way in the back of the parking area. I […]

The image below shows one of my favorite places to stop and have a small lunch at in the Yosemite high country. The area is along the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. I’ve posted images before of this area, but this one image was taken on my last visit to the park in June […]

I returned Tuesday night last week from a good four days in the Sierra Nevada, including Yosemite! I did two nights of astrophotography which was really great! The Milky Way was high in the sky and looked incredible. I’m in the process of working on the night images in Lightroom and will post them as […]

Below is another image from Tunnel View from October 2025. This one is a vertical shot. I’m showing both color and black and white versions. I still seem to prefer the black and white one. Which one do you like? Creeping up on Mammoth and Yosemite time! Looking forward to seeing the Eastern Sierra in […]

It’s nice when you get an image that you struggle with in color and pull it into black and white and it makes it much more appealing. Below is an image of Tunnel View I took in October of 2025 that seemed to look better in black and white. Closing in on days I’ll be […]

Below is an image I took in the high country of the Sierra Nevada in October 2025. Looking forward to venturing out into the beauty again really soon! Have a great week everyone!

Below is an image I took of Tenaya Lake in the Yosemite high country in October last year. I love when storms roll through the high country and leave clearing storm clouds! It makes the area much more interesting. I’m going up to the Eastern Sierra and Yosemite within a month. Looking forward to see […]
