  • Photo of the Day: Lower Yosemite Fall by Jon Shiu

    Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot by Jon Shiu of Lower Yosemite Fall.

    There’s a really great discussion started over on the new forum where TLSOK asked: “I’m wondering where some really great and unknown places are to take pictures in Yosemite Valley.

  • Some Good Spots to Shoot in Yosemite

    Richard took the time to send in an email and asks: Would you be so kind as to refer me to a web site that might list 10 (or some manageable number) great sites for shooting photos in Yosemite, easily accessible from the valley floor? I have been there before, and I am not a…

  • Photo of the Day: Yosemite Panorama by Jerry Segraves
