12 hours in Yosemite"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nHad the opportunity a couple of weeks ago during one of my signing trips to CA to do a quick run to Yosemite.\u00a0 And by quick I mean I was only in the park for 12hrs.\u00a0 It&#8217;s amazing, I&#8217;ve been able to be there 3 times in the last 12 months.\u00a0 Something I never even thought might happen.\u00a0 Of course my knowledge of the area is very cursory right now but I consider the time there some of my most productive.\u00a0 This particular evening I finally made the park entrance around 11pm.\u00a0 The moon had rose a couple of hours before and the valley was bathed in awesome, bright moonlight.\u00a0 I drove around a bit to get the feel for this new look and, not wanting anything too crazy of an adventure, decided to pick a location I hadn&#8217;t been to before.\u00a0 Of course&#8230;sitting outside the gate, at 1130pm, the only thing I could think of was being in the dark, by myself&#8230;with bears.\u00a0 I know I know they&#8217;re big scared &#8216;cats&#8217; and run away, but when alone in the woods&#8230;eek.\u00a0 So after gathering up some courage and motivation via a friendly reminder I packed up my camera bag, put on my big boy pants and off I went down the trail.\u00a0 Ok&#8230;so to get a better picture of the scene imagine just a fair amount of dragging my feet on the ground and taking big heavy steps&#8230;to make noise of course.\u00a0 This way I dont startle anything that would want to make me a snack.<br \/>\nDown to the river, then using my headlamp to find the path along the banks.\u00a0 Weaving in and out of folliage, I come around the bend and BAM&#8230;what a reflection!\u00a0 So of course to work I go.\u00a0 Now walking and making noise is one thing, but standing still and quiet allows other things to <em>possibly<\/em> sneak up on me&#8230;so occasionally I let out a &#8216;yip&#8217;&#8230;you know&#8230;just to make them aware of my presence \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nSpending about an hour making as much as I could of the special light and reflection, the clouds danced across the sky continually making some truly awesome patterns. \u00a0 I finally decided it was time to pack up and get a few hours of sleep in the car before sunrise&#8230;so I could come right back here again.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nGetting the images back home and seeing the results it makes all the darkness and creepy feelings with it&#8230;.as long as I dont get eaten \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks!<br \/>\naF<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_316\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-316\" alt=\"3 Brothers in Yosemite under moonlight \" src=\"http:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web-300x242.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web-700x565.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web-200x161.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.afeinbergphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/2013-07-24_023web.jpg 833w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Brotherly Love&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
