  • 19th Century Yosemite in 3D

    BoingBoing: “Carleton Watkins was a critically-acclaimed landscape photographer in the 19th century. His photos of Yosemite are considered groundbreaking examples of stereoscopic photography. Smithsonian has a feature on Watkins and a pleasant narrated slideshow about his Yosemite 3D photographs.” Update: I just realized that this is the same link that Brian posted yesterday.

  • Photo of the Day: Vernal and Nevada Fall by Wallace Wade

    I’m finally catching up on my email and one of the great photos and emails I came across was this one from Wallace Wade. Here’s what Wallace had to say. I am a new visitor to both your website and to Yosemite. I went there for the first time last week, June 16-20. I have…

  • Photo of the Day: IMG_5295 by Angela Sevin

    Sometimes, when I’m picking a photo for Photo of the Day, I’ll make up a title to go along with the picture if it only has a camera assigned image number. Today it was too hard.

Not only is there some original footage of Ansel talking about his creative process, but the piano music is also his. Thought you folks might…

  • Photo of the Day: Fire in the Valley by David Wuertele

    Sometimes I pick a Photo of the Day for it’s scenic beauty. Sometimes it just catches my eye as this one did. David Wuertele captured this nice shot of a burning car in Yosemite. I guess all you gotta do is shove it off the side of Glacier Point and you’ll have a fire fall.…
