> Aram, thanks for sharing.  I traveled to Yosemite in 2018 and hired a photography guide to take me to some interesting areas.  We hiked to Cathedral Rock at 4:30am to capture the sunrise.  I combined 5 images to capture the dynamic range of the morning light.  I didn’t realize the name of the location until you posted your image.

I was a bit surprised at the number of dead and dying trees due to an infestation of the pine beetle.  Other areas were burned out from forest fires. Rock climbers frequently scale the cliffs. An experienced rock climber died the week we visited.  Its a busy place in the summer.  It is majestic and worth the effort to get there.

Part of this trip was to deliver an M3 to someone in SoCal, so I shot half a roll in the M3 on the way down then the last half in the R8 in Yosemite.  I also had another film camera long, a Kodak Retina Type 118 from 1936.  I still have the film in that camera so will have to post some later if they turn out.  Flaky shutter in that camera.
