Yosemite Photo Tips Equipment
Whether you have a basic camera, digital or
manual camera, you can take plenty of photos from daybreak to sunset. A telephoto zoom lens may be needed for photos
taken from far-away distances and help you get the perfect shot.
Film
A 400 to 800 speed film is advised, however
during a clear day you can still use 100 to 200 speed film and get a good picture. The higher the speed, the greater the versatility.
At night you may want a tripod or a camera that you can
set manually.
Where to Shoot
On most tours in the park there are plenty of places to
take photos. If you are an early bird, you can catch the best sunrise
photos at Glacier Point and get a panoramic view from the crest of the Sierra Nevada down into Yosemite Valley. During the day, check out the wilderness and Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. For the best sunset, check out Half Dome at the end of the valley.
Composition of Photography
When taking photos you want to point the lens to a stable
object, a tree, person or glacier point that may be in the background.
If you line up the target with a non-stable object like the sky, you might
get a blurry photo when developed. Make sure you take the lens cap off,
aim and shoot. Bring lots of film and have fun.
When taking photos, be careful not to disrupt the wildlife.
