“El Capitan” – Yosemite National Park 2009

There are a few National Parks in the US that are as iconic as Yosemite. While Yosemite Valley on comprises of avery small portion of the entire park, it is definitely the most visited and photographed. Just after sunrise one morning to I took this photograph with my Canon 5D Mark II and a 24-70 2.8L lens without a tripod. The side light from the rising sun helped to create this beautiful scene. The trees at the bottom allowed me to frame the image accordingly.
