Bridalveil Falls

Bridalveil Falls

Uploaded: April 29, 2007

Description

Late in the afternoon Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite get a wonderful rainbow. This was shot on print film on a trip there in 2001. It was a very difficult photo to take because of the continual spray. The camera was on a tripod with an umbrella protecting it from most of the mist and when the mist cleared I took off the lens cap wiped the lens and took a shot.

Your patience paid off Peter and the rainbow above the rock formation is a real plus. Great capture and enjoyed your galley as well. Take me on your trips. #4231949

Nice capture in tough circumstances, Peter. On my screen, the image needs a bit of brightness and a shot of contrast.

Thanks Steve. This was scanned from a print. It looks fine to me on 2 completely different monitors and pretty much what the print was like. If I boosted the contrast any more it would look really strange. I wonder whether you have calibrated your monitor. #4236962

A brand new, calibrated iMac, Peter. Perhaps it is mist in front of the dark areas that made me conclude that. #4240090

Well that should put calibration as an issue to rest Steve. Could be the mist as there was a lot of it. #4240117
