CherylBee
This is gorgeous. What time of year did you capture this? I’m thinking of planning a trip their this summer. Any tips would be great!!!
Lynn Bauer replied
Hi Cheryl! This photo was taken in May of 2008. We were up for sunrise & situated near the bridge/campgrounds in front of the meadow. It didn’t take long before the shore was lined with photographers, so the early start really paid off! The falls will be flowing in full right now, and will be tapering off over the course of the summer, so the earlier you go, the better. Some of the falls have completely dried up by late summer/early fall. Good luck! Yosemite is a great place to visit…any time of year!!!
CherylBee
Thanks so much! I’m planning for early June, so hopefully it won’t be too crowded! I appreciate the tips.

Fabulous Image!!!:)
Lynn Bauer replied

Jason Asher
Truly beautiful scene Lynn, great composition and colors, I love the reflections on the water, and I LOVE how the waterfall is only a small part of the scene – it really emphasizes how “big” these places feel once your there – something that I find alot of photographs often have hard time expressing due to having too close a focus on, in this case, the waterfall itself. ANYWAY, great work!
Lynn Bauer replied
Jason, thank you so much for such a thoughtful message! This scene has been shot a million times, so I’m glad that you found something unique in the way that I shot it!!! You made my day!!!
Jason Asher
You’ve made mine too Lynn, it’s a beautiful image :)
