Yosemite Day
A short hike above the famous turnout and view of the valley I found some trees to frame the most famous Mtn. Valley in the world.

This is one place I would really love to take my camera gear. It would be a real challenge to create something that hasn’t been done before. You’ve pulled it off here. Great lighting, colour, tonal range, depth & composition.

Karin Lau
Perfect capture of Yosemite’s majesty.
billyboy
Wow, Ansel Adams in color! Your work is awesome, and I especially like the way you shot this at just the right time of day to get the mist just evaporating with the rising sun. I can feel the freshness! Framing is excellent too. What a masterpiece.
Steven Agius
Great capture, beautiful scenery, well done.

brianjarvis
Great place great shot
Globalphotos
Stunning shot !!!
photoson
Holy Moly!! That looks like it was absoultly beautiful that day. Was it a long hike to get that far or was it off of the road. My gosh that is a stunning site.
berndt2
I really love the blues and greens in this one, and the way the twin trees in the foreground so perfectly frame the spectacular panorama behind, almost like the viewer is discovering, or uncovering the view, for themselves.
Kevin Harris
wow, it looks too good to be real!
TerriRiver
If I may say – this is what I’d call a perfect shot!
pmistric

Mark Ramstead
You could do it though. I will share some artists with you soon, tomorrow maybe. remind me okay?
jomash
Nice , never heard of it :(
jomash
Is it Ben Nevis ?
Mark Ramstead replied
Emily Carr and Obata’s Yosemite was the two things i wanted to share with Pinky.
Mark Ramstead replied
I realize now that what you meant was that you have never heard of Yosemite?
Is that correct?
jomash
That is correct.
Mark Ramstead
I had heard of Ben Nevis, or at least I thought I had. Expecting a person I found a place.
In California Yosemite is famous. If you come to California it is the one place you would go to if you like natural wonder.
Mui-Ling Teh
Stunning capture; love those mountains.
Teresa Dominici
Great capture and what a lovely peaceful scene.
Benjamin Padgett
Great unique framing of an often photographed landscape!
gatorjack

Craig Hender
Incredible view! And you have captured it perfectly.
Lynn Bawden
Great shot of Yosemite Valley. I lived in Yosemite for six wonderful years back in the 1950’s. I’m adding this to my favorites…Lynn
Mark Ramstead replied
What a wonderful experience that must have been. : )
Lynn Bawden
It really was especially back in the 50’s when thing made better sense. Wouldn’t want to be stationed there today. I will be heading down there this Fall for photos…Lynn
Tara Sheffer-A...
Can’t get over it, love this view!!!
Mark Ramstead replied
I just bought a framed large version of this for my house. My way of supporting the bubble…
Daniel Sorine
You finally made me want to go there. What a shot!
linaji
I can tell you this.. I wish I had taken a shot like this in Yosemite!! Your work is brilliant!
Mark Ramstead replied
Well next time you could! It was not like the weather was unique, just a typical morning, and a walk up from the tourist pull out, up the steep trail until you see something you like. I was looking for a tree to frame the shot and this appeared.
linaji
Hi Mt. Man.. when I was there last time.. I was very young 25.. on a motorcycle with a new husband! All that behind.. I should go back.. you have me thinking…
Mark Ramstead replied
Half Moon Bay means you could go back, any time, even this next weekend. : )
mstrace
Yosemite Valley is, so far, my favorite place on earth. Not just for its magnificent beauty, but for nostalgic reasons as well. My Dad took us there every summer for vacation for many years. This photo captures that feeling inside me and then some. Its beautiful and I don’t know how I missed it.
Mark Ramstead replied
Did you fave it? No matter, I just bought a large print of this image from here. It just arrived and is beautiful in it’s large scale. Redbubble would do well to let us share our images larger for those of us who do not care if they are ripped off or not. I like that you have a thing for Yosemite. I too spent some of my childhood there in those crowded summers. More recently I have taken the half dome hike, which if you have not done , you must do soon. Soon I will need another sip of your writing… : )
flipteez
Leaves me breathless XXXXXX
Mark Ramstead replied
Really? I would like a go at that…
RMonroe
Beautiful:)
FuriousEnnui
Great framing, and mist off the Merced is always inspiring.
Mark Ramstead
The framing and time of day is every thing in this shot. It is the kind of light we remember as we travel the park, if not the most camera friendly light… ; )
hybryds
would love to take my models to here.
magic
jacqi
Oh wow, another place I want to revisit. Sublime!
Mark Ramstead replied
Me too. I live near by but it has been too long…
jacqi
Lucky you to live near such a wonderful place. I would be there all the time, given the chance.
Jacqueline Baker
This really does have the wow factor….i love the blues in this image and the mist really does make this image stand out…..absolute cracker!!
hilarydougill
absolutely out of this world. Beautiful capture, such a wonderful place, imagery and colours. wonderful framing. Glorious!!!! hugs

Mark Ramstead replied
Worth visiting if you have never been there…
Glenn Storey
Amazing! So beautiful.
Is this where Yogi bear lived?
Mark Ramstead replied
Yes, as a matter of fact most of my bear experiences occurred here.
EnVee
extremely gorgeous!! what a view :)
Karina Sanchez
ugh. i have never been to Yosemite…I want to go so bad…I envy you. Great photo!
Teeze
Amazing – Nicely captured.
Arletta
Nope! I’ve never been there, but I could well believe it’s worth visiting. It’s .. hmm .. well, one of the few places I’ve seen pictures of that really made me feel like going out of my way to look at it in person The others were mostly in Scotland, Ireland, Alaska, and occasionally Greece and Australia. Oh, and once a Californian Redwood forest, but I went to California and didn’t get to see one. I did see a lot of nuts, though, so we must not have been far from the trees!
Autismmom
stunning work:-)
Luke Martin
This is a totally epic shot, so much so that i’d expect to find dinosaurs roaming below if I were hiking through there! Excellent work :-)
Mark Ramstead
The only dinasaurs down there are the tourist buses I’m afraid… Thanks.
Laurie Puglia
really beautiful!

Al Neaimi said it, mountains always invoke power in the subconsciousness of all, maybe myths are opened in our mind.

I see I have visited your page before about a month ago… Years ago on internet time. Did you visit the USA or live here?
TinyKnickers
I used to live in Tampa Bay but have worked in LA for a while and traveled through Yosemite and other great National Parks :)
Mark Ramstead replied
If you spend time in our beautiful national parks, you are OK by me! Where were you born? (I am nosy) ; )
TinyKnickers
I am glad I got your approval ;) I was born in Breda, mtnman.
Mark Ramstead replied
The southern part of the Netherlands?
A globe trotter… or a vagabond?
madmac57
Truly an amazing and captivating capture Mark. Beautiful!!!!
TinyKnickers
Yep, Southern part. Can you hear that in my accent? Am neither a globe trotter or a vagabond; am classed as a nomad
Mark Ramstead replied
Well you are a very cool nomad…

Thanks MtnMan :)

Sharon Mau
Hoi! I’ve missed you, how have you been?
Mark Ramstead replied
Work has had me preoccupied with changing shifts and ever increasing commutes. I dare say the economy has us all a bit down here. On the upside, I am returning to Yosemite in a few weeks and will be there for 12 days I think camping. First time I will have spent there in the spring… Thanks for missing me, I do feel I have gone missing…
Martina Fagan
outstanding view!!

Mark Ramstead replied
Yes it is an amazing place. This photo was from a trip about 15 years ago. I just got back from a two week vacation there and I am ready to start posting the results…. (almost) lol

Yes I was there Summer 1994, had the best time in U.S. Three months in Lake McDonald Montana, hiking, drinking;) I had never seen people buy huge kegs of beer before. Of course I am much more sensible now :)
