Pour Light Through the Mountains!

Valley View
Yosemite National Park, California

From this prime shooting location in the stunning Yosemite Valley, it is incredibly easy to find countless compositional possibilities. The trick is to get to your location at least one hour before sunset to allow enough time in finding the best shot.

Select your composition, then wait for the sun to set just enough until it projects its light strongly onto the mountains. Be sure to have a strong foreground element, and consider using a longer shutter speed to give the water a glassy surface!
