I'm looking forward to your film being developed and even more to maybe taking the tour with Doug and you other YosLUG guys in December! I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the last one, though.

Usually we go down the Monterey/Big Sur coast; no end to the images there. Yesterday we decided to go to Yosemite. I picked Jim up at his house at 6am (I left my house at 5:40ish). I got back to my house at about midnight. Long day! The roads inside Yosemite Park were mostly still closed from ice and winter's ravages, so we were only able to go down in the valley and on the road south (Tunnel Road I think). The first stop was Yosemite Falls; there is an upper and lower falls: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/L1000649_Yosemite_large.html One can walk down an easy path to the base of the Lower Yosemite Falls that dumps into the Merced River: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/L1000674_Yosemite_large.html At the end of the day, we photographed the view made famous by Ansel, from the Tunnel Road turnout; http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/L1000677_Yosemite_large.html Fortunately, not many photographers ever heard of this location: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/L1000698_Yosemite_large.html Technical stuff: M8, 21mm and 35mm, with polarizing filter (except the last image). All tripod (except the last image), shot RAW, converted in Lightroom. Most of the day was spent shooting film; hope to be developing that tomorrow! C&C always very much anticipated and appreciated, Bob Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
