Yosemite Road Trip Part II

Another yearly roadtrip to Yosemite is in the books and I’m already looking forward to the next one. I decided that on this trip I would focus on honing my HDR skills. HDR (high Dynamic Range) is the process of taking multiple shots of the same image and then pulling out the best of each image and combing them in one frame. A great website that explains more about HDR along with examples is Stuck in Customs. Anyway, on to the photos. I’ve also included GPS coordinates in case you are interested in viewing these locations in Google Earth.
