Half Dome from Ahwahnee Meadow

[Jonathan]

I noticed the clouds starting to dissipate in the afternoon and hustled over to Ahwahnee Meadow, hoping to get some nice late afternoon light. The clouds broke just right and highlighted the mountain perfectly!

Which do you prefer, the vertical or horizontal photo?

Both are good, but maybe I like the vertical better.

Both beautiful shots. Normally I prefer narrow FOVs. But in this case I think I prefer the second image. The cliff face on the left channels my attention to the dome. But I'd be happy with either one.

Better balance in the second image - although both scenes are great.

Very nice natural scenes. The first one looks as if I am standing there viewing my surroundings. Really like that one best IMHO.

Both really nice images but I love the water pouring down the Royal Arches wall on the left of the second photo!

Super shots.

Thanks! I lean toward the vertical one too.

Thank you! In addition to the tighter photo I wanted a composition that included the waterfall too.

Thank you! I had trouble deciding which I liked more, I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the comments!

Thanks! I read that waterfall is seasonal, typically flowing only in the spring.

Super shots.

Thank you Patrick!

Yeah, it really flows after heavy rainstorms and dries up pretty fast.

I've climbed routes on that wall including the super fun Royal Arches route and more than once gotten chased off in a hurry as rain starts and what begins as a trickle of water turns into an afternoon waterfall

Both are really nice; it's hard to pick between them but in this instance I think I prefer the landscape orientation. Nicely done!

Two nice views, with the second my preference.

Seems like a great place for rock climbing! I’ve only ever climbed indoors and messed around a little doing some bouldering. It sure is a great workout!
