The different tones of blue and the complete blackness of the silhouette are awesome. Great shot, Dave. Today’s Forecast: Sunny.…

Morning Shot Aug 24 2009 – Breakfast

No sorry, no rain in the near future for Yosemite. But Bog Iron Pines happened to be there during a thunderstorm and took this beautiful shot. How can you tell it’s raining? Look at the water. I love the large amounts of black and the darkness of the photo in the photo. Really makes you…

Morning Shot Aug 20 2009: Reflections by Forrest Pangborn
Yesterday we featured a black and white by Forrest Pangborn as our Photo of the Day. Today’s Morning Shot is an almost identical shot but I like it better. By simply changing the height at which the photo was taken but not moving Forrest kept the same subject matter but brought the rocks lower down…

Morning Shot – August 14 2009
Today’s awesome Morning Shot is a beautiful shot down the ridge of the Mathes Crest near the Cockscomb (very distinct looking peak in the foreground) by Taylor Davis. I love the way the clouds add dimension to the shot. It’s almost like sizing plants small to large to make a Japanese Tea Garden to give…
