[Leica] Namesake Waterfall

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

The namesake waterfall for Yosemite is of course, Yosemite Falls.? 
Consists of the upper and lower falls and a few minor drops between that 
add up to 2425 feet (739 meters).? Here are some maybe cliche shots of 
this waterfall.

The hike to the lower falls is easy

but taking some photos there was challenging due to the mist.? I would 
head out to the bridge, line things up with my hand over most of the 
lens, then get a quick snap and retreat to dry the filter off for 
another try.? Usually it is quite crowded and I love taking photos of 
the people, but this time it was practically deserted and with the mist 
I did not try.
