Date: Tue, Nov 6, 2012 11:06 am A great thing about Yosemite is that you can just point your camera ANYWHERE, heck, even with the lenscap on and pointing it backward, and press the shutter and you will get images like this: http://richardmanphoto.com/PICS/20121106-Scanned-34-Edit.jpg True story: on my way home, I dropped by Yosemite (and any time you can say, "I dropped by Yosemite on my way home," it has to be a great day) and heading toward the Village, I passed this rock. I tuned around and found a spot to park. While I was setting up my tripod, a car pulled over on the other side, and a guy came out with his tripod. He then literally plopped his tripod 3 feet next to mine. While thinking "You gotta kiddin' me," but being a friendly Californian, I said, "Hi!" He probably didn't hear me, as he was looking at the scene, and he picked up his tripod, and walked some distance down... What a critic. Didn't like my spot, I guess. My theory is that my spot is perfect for a panoramic shot, but not so much for a 35mm image. That's my story, to preserve my ego, and I am sticking with it. -- // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com> _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
