For landscape photographers, it does not get much better than Yosemite photography. From the novice putting up vacation pictures on social networks to professionals capturing the beauty in fine art photos, everyone appreciates the magnificence of the area. No photographer will leave this photogenic beauty disappointed.
Two of the most famous features in the park are the rock formations of El Capitan and Half Dome. To get the best views of El Capitan, try El Capitan Meadows or Cathedral Beach. Your best photos of Half Dome may come from Glacier Point at sunset. For another dazzling angle, try Cooks Meadow.
Each season offers the photographer something different. A unique feature of early spring is frazil ice. It looks like a massive fast-moving slushy. The best place to get a picture is along Yosemite Creek from the base of Yosemite Falls.
Late spring and early summer are perfect opportunities to photograph the twenty-one waterfalls and cascades in the park. Yosemite Falls is the highest falls in the United States. Another popular waterfall with photographers is Bridalveil Fall. When it is windy, it appears to be falling sideways from a precipice high above.
The long days of summer offer the ability to capture the interplay of light and shadow against granite rock formations and among towering Sequoias. Summer thunderstorms suggest an opening to try out black and white photos. Their resulting rainbows as well as the waterfalls rainbows let you capture displays of brilliant color.
Take your time photographing from Tunnel View when most of the tourists have gone in fall. It is the perfect opportunity to capture Bridalveil Fall, Half Dome, and El Capitan in a single frame without having to jostle for position. With fewer people in the park this time of year, take the opportunity to also photograph Yosemite Valley from usually busy Glacier Point.
The snowy wonderland of winter gives the park a whole new look. Snow does not last long on the valley floor, so you have to get there before it snows to get the best photos. One magical location is Sentinel Bridge, where you may be lucky enough to snap a reflection of Half Dome in the glassy surface of the Merced River.
