Guardian of Half Dome
Uploaded: October 24, 2006
I had envisioned this picture for quite some time. This is the result after my third visit to the spot just above the parking lot at Olmsted Point in Yosemite. I used a 17 mm wide angle lens, bracketed + and - 2 stops and finally combined the images into a high dynamic range image. I created the end result using tone mapping.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
