A spring weekend in Yosemite Valley that involved unsettled weather, dramatic waterfalls, peaceful meadows and some missed opportunities all packed into an all too brief trip.
Looks like you had a good short weekend get away David. The rain on the first day opened up to some wonderful conditions. I have been to Yosemite twice now but haven't had the atmospherics you had. I'm jealous. If I had to pick out one place to live out the rest of my days, Yosemite would be it. In a word; magical.
Thanks so much for giving a watch Larry. It's much appreciated. It's sort of odd...I've been lucky enough to visit Yosemite many, many times but it's only over the past couple of years that it has really become a favorite location for landscape photography. Don't know why it took me so long.
That's nice of you to say. Thanks so much for giving a watch. It's much appreciated. I'm looking forward to another Spring trip to Yosemite in about 10 days.
I really enjoyed watching your video about your Yosemite trip, David. It looked like great time in the valley. Glad you made it out and got to take in some quiet and nature time. Thanks for sharing. I've been enjoying your last few videos. Have a great holiday weekend!
Yo, How's it going, bro? How are things with you? I hope you're doing great right now and I hope your family is doing well. Wow, I don't believe what I'm seeing, I'm impressed as hell and I don't know what to say. I mean, This is a beautiful place in the world. Yeah, Look around you, There are big mountains, There are big meadows, There are big waterfalls, There are so many forests, There are beautiful trees, There's a great river and The nature is fantastic. Wow, Spring! I can't wait for spring to arrive and I can't wait for this time of the year. Yeah, The sunsets are beautiful at this time of the year and The weather is great at this time of the year. Hey Yo! Thank you very much for this video, man. Yeah, This video is definitely worth watching because I feel like I'm in this place. Greetings from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪🦙🇵🇪🦙🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽🏞️🏞️🙂👍
A nice, calm and relaxing video. Your comments on cold wet feet, and not being able to be in two places at once made me chuckle and are all too relatable! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for giving a watch Brandt. Much appreciated. Yeah, I like to think I'm not entirely alone when it comes to missing some opportunities. 😉
I really enjoyed watching this. The conditions looked pretty good for most of the time, and exceptional for others. That little pull behind trailer is pretty cool. I am going to be out in CA in a couple weeks, hoping to catch some fog on the off days.
@@TravisRhoads Ah! Well, hopefully we'll have some fog for you. I've just recently started watching the weather more closely, getting the itch to get back up on Tam for fog. This is the time of year it's starts to get good. Feel free to ping me if you want a take on conditions while you're out here.
I recently went to Yosemite and hiked Sentinel Dome , Taft Point and Glacier Point the water falls still had water running. Nevada Falls and Vernal Falls made for interesting shots with Half Dome in the pictures. Tunnel View is always worth the stop. The Medows were still lush and green a great way to spend a couple of days in Yosemite
I stayed at the North Pines campground this time. I had been to Upper Pines and Lower Pines many times previously but this was the first time I got a reservation at North Pines. Thanks so much for giving a watch.
A getaway in Yosemite no matter the conditions is always a gift 😊 I love seeing the valley come to life in the spring. The dogwoods are one of my favorites. You caught some beautiful images! Thanks for sharing such a peaceful trip 😊
First time viewer here. I really enjoyed this video, I'm a weekend warrior too when it comes to landscape photography, and really appreciated and understood the honesty of feelings you admitted to having. I've been through the same, many times.
Thanks so much for the kind feedback. I know I'm not alone in terms of feeling a bit frustrated at times. My goal is usually to try and not get too high or too low and take it as it comes but that's easier said than done.
Beautiful images. That dramatic weather really adds a lot. Helping run some workshops with another photographer in Alaska and the weather has been unsettled as well. But the photo opportunities are endless!
Nice episode, David. I missed out on most of Spring in the valley this year as I was out storm chasing but I'm hoping to get up there next week. I love shooting there in the Spring! I feel your pain in not being able to be in two places at once.
Thanks William. I really wish I could have spent more time there. I guess I always say that. Just realize you have some interesting videos I need to go watch.
@@frankstark3036 Tough decision. It's usually less crowded in the spring than summer. Most things in Yosemite Valley should be open but it depends on the winter snowfall so it's never the same from year to year
