Yosemite National Park, California
After spending a week shooting the awesome beauty of Yosemite, I was taking some time out snowboarding at nearby Badger Pass. By late afternoon, I noticed a front coming in towards the Park, and knowing that this could make for some great moody images, I grabbed my camera and raced back to Inspiration Point. I arrived to an extremely turbulent atmosphere–light scattering throughout the valley and bouncing randomly off the opposing rock walls. The effect was incredible–depending on the direction of the light, every crack and crevice was enhanced and seconds later was in complete shadow. I shot off roll after roll of film at different exposures, not knowing quite what to expect. The results were better than I had imagined–this image perfectly captures the moodiness and restlessness of the afternoon.

Joseph O. ★★★★★

Snowboarding at Badger Pass turned into the best part of my Yosemite trip when that front rolled in over the valley. The way the shadows cut across the peaks in this shot is exactly what I remember standing there. It's hanging in my hallway now and I stop at it every single morning.

Stella ★★★★★

The late afternoon light hitting the valley from that snowboarding trip makes the whole print feel alive, and the colors in the shadows are richer than I expected for the size. It's hanging in my hallway now and I keep stopping to look at it.

Harper D. ★★★★☆

The contrast between the bright snow and those deep valley shadows really captures that late-afternoon light I remember from my own trip. Print quality is crisp and the colors feel true to the park, though I wish it came in a slightly larger size.
