Yosemite Autumn storm from Tunnel View
Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 17 April 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
I took this photograph in the fall as a storm was approaching the Yosemite area - I will post a few from that trip as I am working on some Black and White compositions from some previous photographs - just to see how they turn out - It was very windy as this storm approached but the light and clouds were quite amazing from the Tunnel View vantage point. I think the view from this location is probably the most amazing view I have ever seen.

As you rightly said, this is a simply amazing view Scott! STUNNING in it's beauty and richness of detail and tones this image is certainly one of your best so far! I could hang this up and stare at it every day:)

Beautiful! I think the B&W really works well with the approaching storm - it's more "moody". Excellent!

This is one place that is on my list of places to visit, somewhere near the top. No image can be perfect but this comes a close second, I love the treatment to it, you have somehow brought it to life, The addition of the little waterfall (though probably not so small) enhances the composition, Great A+++

This is a remarkable B/W image, Scott - one place I'm happy we got to see with our own eyes in 1980.
I posted one in B/W and one in color, scans of a photo but no where near the quality of yours.

Hi Scott, awesome photo, I can see the great textures and can even see how beautiful this place must be, even though the photo is B&W. Amazing job.

This is stunning Scott! Your wonderful B&W treatment gives it that charcoal sketch feeling with wonderful depth of shading. A 5-star keeper for sure! ;-)

My goodness, Scott! Awesome is the word I would use here. Perfection in mono, such a powerful, dramatic, beautifully observed photograph. Pure class

A little Ansel Adams in this! Love the waterfall in the left. Perfectly composed.

Absolutely stunning image and tones!! Ansel Adams has been mentioned in these comments, and yes, I totally agree. Superb shot and processing!

Classic, Scott. One never tires of this scene. I agree with dogilicious, when I first saw it, I thought of Adams. I personally owe more to Adams than any other photographer, living or dead. I got serious about photography when I was living in the Bay Area and started backpacking in the Sierra in the 60s (I was in my late 20s and early 30s); Adams was like God to photographers in that setting.

I got to see Yosemite for the first time last summer. I could gaze from Tunnel View forever. Amazing B & W shot.

This just doesn't look like a scene from this planet. This is just very sublime. And the black and white has just made so dramatic like those adventure movies from forties.

WOW! This works so well in B&W! There's so much depth and so many varied tones. The contrast throughout is really great. And of course, your composition is just perfect! I agree with Don... it seems like something you'd see in an Ansel Adams collection!! :)

Absolutely outstanding Scott, I hope that someday I have the honor of seeing Tunnel View in such magnificent light. The B&W is extremely powerful and as Jen and Don say very Ansel Adams :-) Bravo!

Wonderful image! The processing gives it a look of an illustration to a great book about the Wild Wild West :)
