  • Photo of the Day: Beautiful Day For a Snowstorm by Edie Howe-Byrne

    Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot from our close friend Edie Howe-Byrne. Edie is lucky enough to live in Yosemite and gets plenty of opportunities to observe the changes the seasons bring to the park. Beautiful shot, Edie. By the way, if you’re curious about the title of the post, Edie had…

  • Weird August Snow Helps Firefighters

    Thursday’s weird snowstorm in August did one good thing, it helped firefighters battling the Wildcat Fire. “The guys are drying out and getting warm after yesterday’s light snow shower,” says Fire Information Officer Gary Wuchner. “It wasn’t very measurable, but it slowed the fire, and activity is relatively low right now.” Overnight temperatures on Thursday…

  • Morning Shot Aug 6 2009: Weird Weather, Flash Flooding and Where To Be With Your Camera

    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.…

  • Photo of the Day: Sunset, Mount Conness and Lower Young Lake by G. Dan Mitchell

    Yesterday we featured Phil King’s “Sunset on Mount Conness” as Photo of the Day, today we have G. Dan Mitchell’s take. Though both are of the same subject matter, they each have a different feeling and tone. Which one do you like best? Nice work, Dan. Thanks for posting it in the Yosemite Blog Group…

  • Morning Shot July 27 2009 (It’s a short week!)

    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…

  • We Could Use Your Help

    I’ve always tried to make Yosemite Blog a handy reference for first-time and returning visitors and although I know a lot about the park in general I admit there are some specific areas where I know next to nothing. That’s why I’m turning to you for your help. I recently created a bunch of pages…

  • Photo of the Day: Falls and Flowers by Nate Eaton Jr.

    Lots of people come to Yosemite and leave with the same exact shot of Half Dome or Yosemite Falls that’s been taken a billion times. Sometimes it seems they should just hand people compact flash card already loaded with the photos. Nate Eaton has succeeded in capturing a different view of Yosemite Falls and that’s…

  • Photo of the Day: El Capitan Cloud Cap, Yosemite National Park by Tyler Westcott

    Today’s Photo of the Day is a beautiful shot from Tyler Westcott of El Capitan and clouds in black and white. This is an AWESOME shat and would look great hanging in any den. Hopefully Tyler will get this up in his Imagekind gallery so all of you that would like a print can purchase…

  • Wildflowers on Glacier Point Road

    Someone asked me on Twitter about wildflowers on the Glacier Point Road and I said I hadn’t heard anything. Well today I went and looked. The flowers are just starting in the meadows and should be in full bloom by the end of the week. There’s also lupine and poppies along the roads at all…

  • Photo of the Day: Half Dome from Sentinel by Edie Howe-Byrne

    Today’s Photo of the Day is from our longtime friend Edie. Edie took this beautiful shot up Tenaya Canyon with Half Dome in the mid-ground from Sentinel Dome, one of my favorite places to shoot from. Edie would like to be with us but she’s currently freezing her butt off on the eastern side of…
