Although most people generally consider smoke from fires an annoyance that interferes with their beautiful shot of Yosemite I’ve always found in the right context it can add some interesting colors. Take this shot from Dale Carlson for example. Beautiful! Today’s Forecast: Mostly sunny but some high clouds. High 93F. Overnight lows around 67F. Expect…

Today’s Morning Shot is a beautiful sunrise on Mono Lake by Brent Pearson. Brent said: “Decided to go out to Mono Lake and try a sunrise. The day before I went to the main Tulfa area and got some reasonable dawn shots, but I really liked this view near Rte 395. Dad piked out and…

Today’s morning shot comes to us from Jakob Heuser. I found Jakob’s beautiful shot after he posted a link to it on Twitter. See, Twitter IS good for something. Beautiful shot, Jakob. Nicely done. Be sure to check out Jakob’s beautiful photography on his Flickr stream. Today’s Weather: Hot. High 97F. Mostly sunny with some…

Eric Chalifour took this photo and called it “God’s Rock”. I’ve never actually thought about shooting from the top of Lembert Dome in Tuolumne Meadows but now I’m revising my list of “Great Places to Shoot Sunsets in Yosemite”. This shot is super awesome, Eric. Not just awesome, but SUPER awesome. The tone is great.…

Today’s morning shot is a beautiful HDR image from Cathy (aka haglundc on Flickr). High Dynamic Range, or HDR, images combine multiple frames captured at different exposures to produce an image closer to what the human eye sees rather than being limited by what the camera sensor or film will pick up. Great shot, Cathy.…

Between the rising sun and the setting moon (see image below) this weird effect was captured by the Turtleback Dome webcam. Today’s Forecast: Some clouds but mostly sunny. Daytime high around 89F. Overnight…

Today’s Morning shot is an awesome shot of dawn breaking from the top of Half Dome shot by Popebe on Flickr. Gotta love the way the man in the photo seems to be above the clouds. Nice work, Popebe. Today’s forecast: Cloudy. Chance of rain. Highs around 80F. Overnight lows around 58F. I checked the…

Today’s Morning Shot isn’t a morning shot at all, it’s a beautiful susnset captured by Phil King. Phil recently backpacked into Young Lakes where he spent a couple of nights. Long enough to take some beautiful shots of the area. Very nice, Phil. Today’s Forecast: Sunny today with highs in the upper 80’s to low…

Digital cameras have done one thing, they’ve made everyone a photographer. Unfortunately, they’re all trying to get the same shot (usually one they saw in a book at Barnes and Noble). Sathish has his own ideas and is not afraid to pursue them. Today’s Morning Shot is a beautiful HDR Sathish made from 5 images…

Today’s awesome Morning Shot provided by Ben Metcalfe. Today’s Morning Shot is a beautiful shot of the Tufa at Mono Lake with the Sierra as the back drop. To me it sums up everything I think of when someone mentions Mono Lake. If you’ve never been there, it’s really worth the trip. It’s a couple…
