Here’s one matrix/evaluative metering would have made a mess of. The dynamic range (range of light between the darkest shadows and brightest highlights) was off the charts. Rather than try to compromise, I decided to expose to hold the color in the sky and let the foreground go to silhouette.

I loved camping in Yosemte Valley as a kid and your gorgeous. photos bring back those beautiful memories. Thank you. Dena
Thanks so much, Dena. I too grew up camping in Yosemite.
Gary…….You’ve captured Yosemite so completely, your photographs say it all and without words.
Thank you, Ralph.
As always Gary Hart’s photos excite. I cannot wait to go and see this great land, especially Yosemite. El Capitan is on my bucket list. Not to climb, just to admire.
Thank You Again.
