If it was taken from the valley floor, then how could you see the snow on top of El Capitan? It seems like it could have been taken from some place like Taft Point or some other point on the south rim of the valley. Just wondered.

That would be awesome! They should install a pipe up there, and turn it on at sunset!Quote

It's too bad some of the nice flow from LYF or Bridalveil can't be funneled towards Horsie. While there was slightly more water a few days ago, it hasn't been one of the better years for this (as you've stated). Still, I found it exciting. Learned some new stuff. I found that the colors were still really nice.
Please share whatever you have. Did you do any Nordic skiing or go one some nice hikes?

Viewing Locations
There are two popular viewing locations, both giving a slightly different view of the falls. The first is from the El Capitan Picnic Area off of Northside Drive and the second is on Southside Drive east of the Cathedral Beach Picnic Area. I’m sure there are plenty of other locations in the valley to view the falls from. The most important thing here is to be east of the falls as the sun sets to the west. After scouting both locations, I decided that I liked the view from Southside Drive better. It is also worth mentioning that you should probably consider showing up several hours early to guarantee you get a good spot. I parked and headed down towards the river about 3 hours before sunset, and there were already 3 other photographers set up. An hour before sunset, there were more than 30 tripods and several hundred thousand dollars worth of photo gear onsite

Good point, that is for full frame (35mm) I will admit, it has been a while since I shot it, I know I used my 70-200, but maybe I wasn't zoomed in that much. I'll have to go back and look at the EXIF on some of my shots.Quote

To got a good shot you need a telephoto zoom at least 150mm to 200mm
For what sensor/film size?

Also, be sure to get there super early if you want to find parking near the El Cap picnic area. I didn't show up until 5ish and it was completely parked up. Between the lack of parking and the lack of water, I decided to wait until next year to try to get the shot.

It's definitely not the best of years, water-wise. What I found most interesting was how the sun only hits that spot. It really doesn't hit anywhere else along that huge wall, at least from that angle. Didn't light up the Three Brothers.

Color on Horsetail was a no show this evening. No doubt a lot of disappointed photographers. But Sentinel Dome did turn a little pink. (We were right underneath it...)

On Saturday the 25th this year, we had a great vantage point but no color...the miniscule falls remained bright white. Yet Sentinel Rock was briefly pink.
