Yosemite in Spring
Published June 14, 2021
Yosemite National Park in California is one of the most majestic places in the world. You could even say that landscape photography was born there. Ansel Adams was one of the first to capture and portray the beauty of the park, and other icons like Galen Rowell followed shortly after.
Today, landscape photographers continue to journey to Yosemite to see the towering granite walls, rushing waterfalls, and massive views. It’s a park that stands alone. Each spring, fall, and winter, we lead workshops to Yosemite and each season brings something special.
Recently, guide Ben Blankenship spent time in the park and put together some timelapses that showcase the grand scale of the park. Ben also led our spring Yosemite workshops this year and is truly an expert when it comes to photography in the park.
