Glen Aulin Falls – YNP
Staying at Glen Aulin is quite nice. We managed to land what the camp manager stated was the “best tent they had, right next to the falls.” These were those falls. We were probably 50 feet away from the water’s edge and the lull was quite nice. During the day the beach area around the…

Tuolumne River
All along the trail the water flowed down the granite slabs as it has done for thousands of years. In many places the granite is so worn by the flow of the water that it looks just like the sand on a beach as the waves retreat, the solid rock taking on the shape of…

Tuolumne River Rapids
Surprisingly – to me at least – the river was strong, even in mid-august. All along the trail from Tuolumne to Glen Aulin the river rolls down long slabs of granite creating rapids that stretch on for hundreds of yards. This spot was just below the Glen Aulin campground. The contrast of the 3 different…

Preparing for Glen Aulin
This past weekend was our long awaited trip to Glen Aulin – one of the High Sierra Camps in YNP. We ended up being able to drive up and spend the night in Groveland, CA Wednesday night and spend a couple of hours enjoying ourselves at the Iron Door Saloon. Here we all are (my…

Burney Creek – Burney State Park
Just past the waterfall a stream forms and carries through the valley off into the woods. I climbed out into what became a precarious position and made this image. The total exposure was about 1 minute with a light(ish) neutral density over the lens. If it weren’t for the mosquitoes i could have stayed out…

One From The Vault
A couple of years ago (September ’05) Jason and I took off for Yosemite one weekend. We packed the car full of medium and large format cameras, related equipment and a couple of sleeping bags and left after work on a Friday evening. Jason had rented a couple of 8×10 lenses to play with and…

Feather River Dam – Detail
Here’s another shot of the Feather River Dam. The original image can be seen here. The dam is pretty cool. There’s not really a whole lot going on there. The dam sits there and i assume the water that was flowing through it was just a little bit of overflow or something as there’s no…

Burney Falls – Burney CA (Take 2)
This is another of the frames of the Burney Waterfalls that i took back in late May. It’s similar to the first one i suppose. I can’t really decide on which i like the most. The falls are pretty cool and i’d recommend that you visit if you’re in the area. From the parking lot…

Hoover Dam Overflow Drain
I was able to stop off at the Hoover Dam while in the Nevada/Arizona area back in May. I was struck by the enormity of these overflow drains. There’s one on each side of the dam and they provide a mechanism for the rapid egress of water which would otherwise lead to dam failure. Apparently…
