Description
There are so many iconic photos of Yosemite, and it's such a rewarding location for photographers, but one of my personal favourites is the view from the appropriately-named Tunnel View viewpoint.
After travelling for almost a mile in near-darkness along the Wawona Tunnel, the distant tunnel end slowly gets brighter and brighter until you burst out into the daylight and are confronted with this stunning view across the valley, with breathtaking views of El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridalveil Falls.
On this cold winter day, there were some beautiful, wispy high clouds, as well as some mist hanging to the sides of El Capitan, which made for some fantastic photography conditions, with the dappled sunlight coming through the clouds and falling on the snow-covered trees on the valley floor.
This scene is also available in a high-contrast black and white photograph shot in the infra-red light spectrum, which creates a dramatic view that emphasises the snow and cloud structures.
