Photos Redone - Yosemite National Park/Mono Lake

As I learn more RAW photo processing techniques, I get better and better with my results. Recently I went back and redone some of my photos that I felt I didn't adequately process the first time through that was worth reprocessing. Today I am here to show you the new results I have for Yosemite National Park and Mono Lake from my 2012 and 2013 trip. You can view my original photos and other trip photos from 2013 here. You can view my original photos and other trip photos from 2012 here.

I will first start off with photos from my 2013 trip.

Loved the blue sky and the clouds that day. Made for a really nice country scenery. The road you see is SR-140. I took this on my drive to Yosemite National Park from the SF Bay Area.
Approximate GPS location (type into Google) according to the Canon GP-E2 GPS Receiver: 37 19 25 N 120 15 35 W

 Someone's farm fenced off with barbed wire. Still on the side of SR-140 on my drive to Yosemite National Park.

Another photo on SR-140. Loved the curve in the highway. As you can see, a pro photographer may suddenly slow and pull over with no warning at all. :P So next time you see some douche driving slowly down an empty highway, this could be the reason. LOL

The rest are from my 2012 trip.

Boardwalk at Mono Basin. 

Tufas at Mono Lake. 

Grass field with some tufa behind. I think the clouds adds a nice touch to the photo. Good thing the clouds started rolling in!  

More tufa formation at Mono Lake 

Tioga Pass in Yosemite National Park. 

This lake was near the eastern entrance of Yosemite (like near the gate).  I thought the landscape looked great so I headed down. 

 This was the meadow near the lake I think. 

 Further into Yosemite National Park, there was a stream. I took my tripod into the stream for this one. 

These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed them. Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!

Yosemite National Park (Part 2)

"For tens of thousands of years, humans have changed, and have been changed by, this place we now call Yosemite. The Ahwahneechee lived here for generations, followed by the arrival of Europeans in the mid-1800s. The rugged terrain challenged many early travelers, with just a few—only 650 from the mid-1850s to mid-1860s—making the journey to Yosemite Valley by horseback or stagecoach. By 1907, construction of the Yosemite Valley Railroad from Merced to El Portal eased the journey, thereby, increasing visitation. Today, 3.5 million people enter the park’s gates to explore. We learn from the stories of those who walked Yosemite’s trails before us, allowing appreciation of their lasting footprints that led to conscious preservation." ~ From Yosemite National Park Website.

I recently visited Yosemite National Park located in California, USA! I took a lot of amazing pictures and I'm here to share them with you. Please enjoy. I will be posting up more pictures in the days to come. Not all these pictures are from inside the park. I also visited Mono Lake which is right outside the park. Some of the pictures will be from there.

Make sure you also check out the pictures I took at Yosemite several years back here.

我曾经去了Yosemite 国家公园在加州,美国!我拍了很多好看的照片。有些照片是在公园外面的 Mono 湖拍的。我过几天还会再放多一点照片上来的。

我还有一些几年在 Yosemite 国家公园拍的照片。要是你想看的话,可以在这里找到。

You can see in the background, the sign that says Lee Vining. That was the city I stayed in that night. Now leaving Lee Vining (Mono Lake) and pictures of approaching Yosemite.
我那天晚上是在 Lee Vining 城市里。现在我就是离开 Lee Vining (Mono 湖)往 Yosemite 公园去了。
