We spent last weekend in Yosemite enjoying the fall colors. While walking along Merced River, I discovered this spot with El Capitan and a nice reflection. Initially, I walked a bit further and discovered a lot of photographers on the other side of the Merced River taking in the scenery from Valley View. That’s not what I was looking to see in my photos.
So I went back to my spot and captured a few shots without having to worry that a photographer would step into my frame. In order to cover the wide brightness range, I bracketed my exposure and later post-processed it as an HDR image.

It’s a great capture of the scenery. The river looks pristine.
