Just to go to scenic places from, honest! I must make an initial comment and say that, on our second day in Yosemite we visted a photo gallery with a lot of work by some guy with the initials A.A. Seems like he couldn't afford any colour film and spent a lot of time climbing around the rocky country. I bought a nice print made on silver from one of his original negatives. Anyhoo we were were travelling around the valley floor when the first snow of the season starting falling. It fell all day for cover across all of the valley. Everytime we came to a scenic location the winter storm kept swirling around the mountains when sunlight wasn't breaking through. I don't see how anyone can make nice snapshots in conditions like that. I only filled a 4GB card. Stand by for some photos in a couple of weeks.
