Bridalveil Fall

After years of attempts to do ok photography, I joined a photography workshop at Yosemite lead by a local phtographer and photigraphy professor at Merced Community College. It was beginners class, although I quickly realized that all the other members of the group had more sophsticated understanding of cameras. On arrival I switched RAW and manual setting and never looked back ever since. We spent quite sometime in the valley butth ehighlight of the day was going to be the famed moonbow at around midnight. After placing our tripods in stratgeic location, we rushed to get the sunset view of half dome from the glacier point. But the valley was crowded, as it always does when the iconic views are in display, and we were late. So we stopped at Washburn Point to get a glimpse before the sun disappeared. I think we missed what we were supposed to get. But I was motivated and I had all this new ideas of framing and exposure fresh in my head so I split from teh grouo to the side framed this view and kept shooting every few seconds.
