Outdoor Photographer Magazine Iconic Locations Winner

Morning Sun Rays in Yosemite Valley

Thank you Outdoor Photographer Magazine for selecting my photo as the winning image for your Iconic Locations Assignment!

OP must have really liked the images, because it has now also been featured in the magazine’s Showcase section of their November 2019 issue (page 12). Thanks again Outdoor Photographer!

How did OP find my image? I submitted it to one of their Assignments. They publish a new one every week or two. Occasionally when they need a photo, they seem to go back to previous member submissions. Although not all of their image usages involve payment, when they give photographers credit they’re kind enough to include hot links to your Web site, and that’s good for Google search ranking, so hopefully it’ll help photographers find my landscape and night photography workshops.

Congratulations to @jeffsullivanphotography for winning the recent Iconic Locations Assignment with the image, Sun Rays on Yosemite Valley Morning Fog. “On this sunrise at Yosemite’s iconic Tunnel View overlook, it had rained the day before, but the skies were forecast to clear up overnight, so I figured that it would cool down enough to have the water vapor condense as a ground fog. When we arrived the next morning, it was just thick enough to reach the treetops, creating some nice photographic opportunities. “There had been several dozen people at this viewpoint minutes before the sun rays appeared, but once the sun cleared the mountains, nearly everyone decided to go get breakfast. Someone in my workshop asked about that, but I said, “Let’s give it another five minutes.” Sure enough, when the sun closed the gap in the clouds and started shining down between them, light rays started moving around the Valley. “The dynamic range of the scene was too great for one exposure, so the sun ray image was created from five bracketed exposures, adjusted in Adobe Lightroom and combined in PhotomatixPro HDR software.” * * * #OPAssignments #iconiclocations #travel #adventure #tunnelview #Yosemite #landscape_lovers #sky_captures #landscapephotography #fantastic_earth #landscape_captures #ic_landscapes #ig_exquisite #ourplanetdaily #landscapelovers #instanaturelover #welivetoexplore #allnatureshots #specialshots #landscapestyles @yosemitenps
