[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Half Dome stands at the elevation of 8,842 feet. It is made up from a type of granite, plutonic rock. Yosemite National Park's Half Dome's missing half is presumed to have fallen off when the Ice Age glaciers passed through.
Yosemite National Park-Half Dome, the hike is approximately 17 miles round trip. The hike to Half Dome can take anywhere from 10-12 hours. Cables are put up in late May and taken down in October. The elevation will increase by 4,800', from Yosemite's Valley Floor,
(almost one mile).
Yosemite National Park is famous for the anticipated Half Dome hike. Most avid hikers want Half Dome on their list of accomplishments.

Hi Chuck,
I like what you achieved with your F/19 setting ,sharpness & detail,nice of the sun to peek through those clouds for you
to add a bit more vibrance to the scene.I know it's not an Ansel Adam's, but it reminds me of his images,I wonder how this would look as a B&W?? have you tried a conversion?

Excellent light conditions here, they really make this image special and you handled the exposure very well. In front of this landscape is not difficult to think of Adams. Nicely composed.

Hi Chuck..excellent shot of Half Dome...nice light and details.

Lovely scenery and quite well handled. Exposure looks good considering the light. Actually I quite like the "greyness" of it all except for the trees which add colour.

Gorgeous Chuck! The light here is what just grabs me! LOVE how you did this! I think it would look awesome in BW and Sepia too! Reminiscent of Ansel Adams! Nice work on the sharpness! This is my NUMBER ONE place I want to visit..mother says I will never come back if I go...I can see why!

Hi Chuck, IThis is an impressive view of the large dome. It is good to see unusual landforms on TE/TL. The light snow fallen on the area gives it a special effcet. I'd like to visit there one day. TFS. Murray.
