I’ve finally recovered from a dead computer, so I’m celebrating by posting another photo from Yosemite. My computer died during my trip to Yosemite, which left me unable to review my photos. Fortunately, my daily routine includes running a backup of all the photos I’ve just downloaded before I clear out the memory cards, so I didn’t loose any photos. But, it’s still quite a hassle to install everything on a new computer. If you don’t have a regular backup routine, I strongly urge you to get started right away.
This was a fun photo. I was returning from Glacier Point at sunset and was hoping to find a good spot along the road. However, the Park Service was doing a number of controlled burns in the valley which created a lot of haze. The result was stronger colors, but lack of definition and I didn’t really get anything I was happy with. So, after the sun went down, I set up to do long exposures as cars passed by to create the streaks of light from the cars’ lights.
