Tunnel View 2
Posted by Scott F. Schilling (San Martin, United States) on 18 April 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Another View from Tunnel View - as I mentioned yesterday, these photographs were taken as an autumn storm was approaching the Yosemite area - As I arrived the cloud deck was lowering and I tried as rapidly as I could to get set up and begin shooting before the higher peaks were covered in clouds - You can see in this photo on the left, El Capitan, Half Dome is just visible left of center nestled in the clouds, and Bridaveil Falls is to the right hand side. The one thing that bothered me about this image is that it lacks any strong foreground element, but I loved the view!

Great and rich mono. Ansel Adams could have done this one ! Excellent.

I like also very much this one, maybe I prefer the first one, not for the quality of the image, but for the wider angle that shows the trees as a frame of the whole.
Congratulations for theses photos, I agree with the reference to Ansel Adams.

Well done Scott! Although I agree with you on the lack of a strong foreground element I think I works to your advantage in this shot. The eye is drawn into the depth of the shot with the compression of the cloud formations almost giving a tunnel like view. I like it a lot!!! ;-)

The background effects are so powerful the missing of foreground isn't even noticed, Scott.

I keep going back and forth, and back and forth, and still can't make up my mind. I do for certain like it in monochrome.

Beautiful. I think having no foreground elements just emphasizes the feeling of the hugeness of that valley from up there.

Nothing should bother you about this stellar image. I've stood at this spot so many times - in every season and time of day - and have nothing near this to show for my travels. Bravo!
