Spring Time In Yosemite '08

Recommended Posts

I am in the planning stages of having a get together in the Spring '08 in

Yosemite Nat'l Park... Everyone is more than welcome to come it will be for at

least 4 days maybe more... Dates to be announced... I am looking at setting up

at least 5 campsites each campsite can hold up 6 people... I am going to hike to

the top of Half Dome to photograph the valley from above one of those days...

This is an informal get together/workshop... We will try to cover as many

subjects dealing with LF Photography and exposure and beyond etc... This is a

free workshop except for the campsites and food etc... Each campsite is only

allowed 2 vehicles each but I have gotten away with 3 with no problems... Most

likely I will set up at the Upper Pines Campsite due to its proximity to the

Half Dome trail... If interested please send me a pm... I am going through the

calendar to check for dates if anyone has any ideas please pass them my way....

Happy Holidays From My Family To Yours!!! This will be a great opportunity for

any beginners or for people who want to get into LF Photography

The dates I am looking at are the following:

April 4 to April 8, 2008

April 11 to April 15, 2008

April 18 to April 22, 2008

May 9 to 13, 2008

 

If interested or have anything to add dont hesitate.... I am thinking of limiting it to 20 people for it to work out much easier for us all... I have already 5 to 7 people on the list...

Hello Ted,

 

I may be interested in joining the group in Yosemite in the Spring of 2008. Please keep me updated of your plans.

 

One potential problem with your plan is that the trail up to Half Dome will still be closed. Yosemite Park Rangers remove the cables that lead to the top of Half Dome, in the Fall, and reinstall them in the Summer when the snow melts. Also,the road over Tioga Pass is usually closed during this time of the year.

 

The waterfalls in Yosemite Valley should be beautiful that time of year and would make the trip worthwhile. I guess your plans are dependent on how much snow Yosemite gets this winter. If there is a lot of snow and You can't hike above the valley, a trip over to Bodie may be a an option.

 

Regards,

Michael Pienta
