The Bridge

Here’s an image of an awesome sunset in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite National Park. One of the things about photographing in unfamiliar mountain territory is that sometimes the light can do things you don’t quite expect. This was one of those times where I planned out the shot I was going to take at sunset and the sky began to light up in a different direction. It’s times like this that flexibility is key, not to mention the ability to run with all your gear! The 8,000 ft altitude made it tough but I ran flat about for about a quarter mile and set up for this shot while panting heavily. Not what I had planned but minus the stich in my side, I felt it worked out well!

    Love that you were lucky enough to capture the colors again in the reflections on either side of that bridge–they round out the wow effect of that spectacular sky. Well done again, Jason. Can’t wait to see more from Yellowstone, as I have always wanted to go there.

    Stunning shot here, Jason! Those colors are magnificent, and the vanishing point you’ve captured here is really second to none my friend!

    [...] The Bridge – Jason Hines captures a sunset photograph in Yosemite Park that is simply without peer.  A wooden walkway cuts the scene in half producing a compelling vanishing point, and the rich colors in the skies bring intense beauty into the scene. [...]
