Yosemite Falls Reflection

My wife and I visited Yosemite NP during the first week in May this year, and this is one of my favorite images I took while in the park. I was setting up my Tripod and happened to look down and directly in front of me was this reflection (in a temporary pool of water in this field) of the image I was setting up to take. This pool of water was excess due to the melting conditions in the Park with so much snow melt run off. I am quite sure had I came back a few hours later, or even the next day that this shot would not have available.

We had initially scheduled for 4 days in the Park, but only stayed 2 due to the crowding nature at the time. Since most all the other roads were closed it placed all the crowds in the Valley and the parking was not good when you went to a place you wanted to take some photos, therefore, we decided to leave and to try again in September and come in for the Lee Vining side instead of the Mariposa entry.

Update: After trying for an hour or so to post the image. I gave up!! Followed the instructions to the letter and could not get the image attached. i.e. choose the file, checked the (store original) and checked the "Add Attachment" and it still would not post the image. The size was also under the 20 mb limit!! I give up and I guess will just read other posts. The frustration is not worth it to me!!!

I think maybe you forgot to click on the Add Attachment button.

Did you "Add Attachment"? Also, you don't need anywhere near 20mb. If you resized it down to 2mb, it would load much faster, and look the same as 19.5mb.

I'm sorry to hear of your frustration. It can be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, its not too bad. We would really love to see your shots, so please don't give up. As El Nikkor said, try sizing them down, and don't worry about the store original part until you get the upload part working.

When you click Add Attachment, realize it takes some time to load the photo. I use an Apple laptop and a blue line goes across the top telling me it is loading. When it is done uploading, the blue line disappears and the photo appears. All you need is a little patience. Good luck.

I will try this again. However, if you read my initial post, I DID check both "store original" and "Add Attachment" in ALL the tries!

This time it worked. That is a very nice photo. The reflection is super.

That's a beauty, and a nice catch. I'm curious, though, it's just a tad larger than 7mb, yet the image is huge in size.

I'm glad you tried one more time. The shot is unique from any other Yosemite shot that I have seen. I appreciate your effort.

Wingpilot, the problem I was having initially was the image size. I subsequently found that 20 mb was the max so I downsized the original (50 mb I think) to a jPeg and the size was still 36 mb. So I kept at it until I got down to 9 mb (I think) and the image loaded just fine. The size may also reflect the resolution which I changed from 300 to 240, and am quite sure I could have lowered it down substantially more - i.e. 90 mb or so.

Thanks for looking, it was really an awesome site to be surprised with at the time.
