Fall in Yosemite with a Sportsmobile

[matthewp]

Beautiful pictures! I have always loved Yosemite and need to go back soon! What did you do to capture the flow of water that way? It looks awesome.

As a dog owner, it annoys me to see the "anti-dog" policies in place at National Parks. What annoys me more are the idiots who break those rules (IE: The men who walked their dog on the trail, right past the No Pets sign, at Joshua Tree this last weekend.)

Great pics and the shot of the dog & the sportmobile seat looks comfy...
Nice to have a rig that can handle any weather in style

thanks for posting

Funny thing, at home she seems to have the 0300 bathroom break alarm, but anytime were out she sleeps up in the "loft" with us, and even at 0700 you have to pry her out of bed.

Thanks. Not that hard. You first need a good tripod/mount for your camera. Stop your lens down to f22 (or the smallest it goes), and I usually use a polarizer filter to get a few more stops. Usually cloudy/rainy days are the best, but you can find places in the trees which filter the light fairly well, or you can wait until early morning, or evening. 2 to 10 second exposures at ISO 100 get pretty good results, but you kind of have to play with it due to the light your dealing with. I also put the camera on the timer setting to get rid of any of the camera shake from pushing the shutter release.

We also spent some time outside the park exploring. We stayed in a campground just a few miles outside of Groveland (about 22 miles from Yosemite on highway 120). If you get a chance check out the Groveland Hotel http://www.groveland.com/ They're dog friendly, and the food was great.

Awesome images. The leaves really add to the feeling.

We had a little surprise when we woke up in Mammoth.



It was mostly clear and moderate temperature when we went to bed. The dog loved it though...

We were lucky to have just missed the storm, or we wouldn't have gotten over Tioga Pass.

Great job capturing those images, really beautiful!

Your pup is cool I know just what you mean re: NPs and dogs - a little over the top restrictive, considering everything. SPs seem to be much more accommodating of furry visitors.

So is Tioga pass still open? Do you happen to know current conditions? I was planning on heading that way from W to E in the next week - thanks.
