Yosemite sunset

I purchased The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite by Michael Frye as a reference on my recent trip to Yosemite. I’m sure this would be a fantastic guide if you are going to Yosemite by yourself or with other photographers, but none of the suggestions really work if you are with a family–especially with kids. The book primarily tells you when to photograph the key spots in Yosemite. Those times, of course, break down to morning and evening for best lighting conditions.

What those traveling with families quickly find out, however, is that families want to be sleeping and/or eating during sunrises and sunsets–not setting up the perfect photo. We stayed at Tenaya Lodge which was actually about an hour away from the Yosemite Valley so I couldn’t just hop in the car and drive to the valley for sunrise or sunset photos while the family slept or ate, or they would have been stranded without a car.

Today’s photo came just before sunset as we were heading back to Tenaya Lodge to eat. It was the closest I came to a sunset or sunrise photo during our three days in Yosemite. The Yosemite Valley was actually behind me (several miles, no view from here) to the right when I took this.

Balboa Peninsula sunset – Newport Beach, California

On my trip to Southern California earlier this year we did a dinner cruise in Newport Bay. This photo was taken near the end of the bay near the end of the Balboa Peninsula. I think that’s the jetty to the left after the houses on Balboa Boulevard end.

Laguna Beach sunset

Laguna Beach was just selected as one of Smithsonian’s “20 Best Small Towns in America”. From my experience there earlier this week, I can see why it made the cut.
