Clearing Storm over Yosemite Valley by Edward Mendes

Artist: Edward Mendes;
ImageDescription: I made my annual spring trip to Yosemite in search of blooming Dogwoods and instead was greeted by a rain storm. Towards the end of the day I made my way to one of my favorite views of the valley in the hopes that the clouds would break. My prayers were answered in a very colorful and dramatic way as the setting sun put on a very impressive but short display of color. I made the image with my Mamiya M645, 45mm Lens, Polarizing Filter, Cokin 2-Stop Grad ND Filter and Bogen Tripod on Fuji Velvia 50 Film.;
