This is one of my favorite waterfalls in Yosemite National Park. It's about a one and a quarter mile hike from the bus drop-off at Happy Isles to this viewpoint.
I took this photograph using an Olympus D-600L digital camera that I rented for this trip. I have mixed feelings about the camera, but some of the images, such as this one, came out very nice. This image was taken using the medium quality mode of the camera, which has a raw resolution of 1280 x 1024, and applies moderate compression before saving it to the removable memory pack. I used Adobe Photoshop to apply some tone correction and sharpening after resampling the image size down for this web page. Photograph by Rick Scott.
