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.
Gary I have limited funds for workshops so usually find myself visiting Yosemite once a year on my own. Just wanted to congratulate you on a wonderful Yosemite portfolio it looks like you are pursuing your dream of photographing year round and guiding these workshops into gorgeous locations. Keep up the inspiring materials and thank you for leading others and sharing your knowledge with them year round.
Warmest Regards
Raymond Marlow.
