Cathedral Beach Sunrise, Yosemite

January 30, 2016 • 100 Comments

On a Meetup trip a few years back, our group of shutterbugs spent a glorious few days shooting sunrise and sunset shots of Yosemite icons. The location here is Cathedral Beach, which is named for two rocky spires nearby- Cathedral Spires- which resemble the twin towers of a Gothic Cathedral. The beach is easy to miss as it is marked by a small sign and dirt road leading off the Yosemite Valley loop road. The difficulty of finding the spot makes it a less crowded option for swimming, picnics, etc. It was a fun shoot despite the early morning frigid temperatures. I love the abstract quality of the reflections of the trees on the shore and the branches in the water juxtaposed with El Capitan. Camera settings:

This design is wicked! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's hard to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer. Excellent Blog!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. Nevertheless think of if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its niche. Good blog!
