I was in Yosemite in mid-January for a meeting at the hotel in the valley for several days. It was not a photography trip, but I brought camera equipment in hopes of finding an opportunity to get away from business and record the incredible scenery. Because of poor weather and extremely flat light, not many opportunities emerged and I finished my visit without much to show for it. We headed out of the valley in the early morning after an overnight dusting and I came across this view of the Cathedral Spires. The sky was brightening just enough to reveal some of the grandeur of these peaks. I set up my tripod and took many shots. This particular image is a stitched panorama of 3 medium format images and was by far the best result I had for the trip, and has ultimately found its way onto my wall as a very large print.
