Great shots. I’ve never been there and have doubts I ever will so I’m seeing it through your eyes. Consider yourself the next Ansel Adams.

For several years I lived about an hour from Yosemite and managed to visit in several seasons. I cannot think of a place where black and white is more striking. Excellent photos!

October 2022 was my first trip to Yosemite NP and it was impressive. Although it was so dry there wasn't any water flowing over the falls. Hmmm, I guess I will have to go back again.
Most of you have probably already been there, but let me know if you want to see any more shots of the trip.
Nikon D810, Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 lens for most of these.
A few Black & White just for fun.

Colour would have been SO much better. 
I appreciate your comment, but I find it interesting, there are more positive comments on this set of B&W shots than either of the two pages of color shots.
I convert many of my shots to B&W because it is how I really started my experience in photography with B&W and it gives me a feeling of nostalgia. Back then it was partially because I could shoot so much more as B&W film was more affordable and I really enjoyed the process of Developing and Printing my shots.
Also, most of the photographs of Yosemite that I have seen are from "Old School" photographers who shot in B&W so I can see what my shots look like against my view of what it looked like years ago.
But I can only speak for myself. I would like to hear from those that have commented and find out what it is about B&W that moves you to like them so much.

My guess as to why I like these, are the so many contrasts and textures that the B&W brings out. The fact that I rarely see B&W that I like, brought me to comment. I will be visiting there April next spring, so your post adds another dimension to what I can do with my "in the future" photography there.

I agree with what Doug said. I really like all of your shots. The B&W are striking because they are different. And they truly are quite beautiful. My thought when I saw them was "how appropriate." It's a very grey place, so using shades of grey really makes sense.
