Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Photography Yosemite National Park 2018 I still have room in the October Yosemite Fall Colors & Night Photography workshop, and I'll probably open one up for November's full moon as well: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ #landscapephotography #Yosemite #nightphotography #nationalpark

Yosemite's El Capitan in the Fall Yosemite Valley always rocks in the fall! I pulled over and it was overcast with little going on, but I had seen the colorful dogwood tree, and I had a hunch that the weather could break... http://yourshot.nationalgeographic.com/photos/11826350/ I'll be back in Yosemite pursuing waterfalls, blooming dogwood trees, and moonbaows by the light of the moon, from April 27 - May 1: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ #landscapephotography #Yosemite #workshops #California http://on.natgeo.com/2FsoMWw

My Top 10 Photos from 2017 2017 was another productive one for landscape and night photography, with some nice results produced from Death Valley, California to Yellowstone, Wyoming. Some of the nicer results produced from trips taken in prior years included results from several trips to Utah. Two software upgrades I made during the year that helped recover more results... http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2017/12/21/top-10-travel-photos-2017/ #LandscapePhotography #Yosemite #California

Sun Rays on Yosemite Valley We had amazing conditions for the photography workshop in Yosemite last week. This was the first morning's sunrise, with sun rays shining down on morning fog. There had been several dozen people at this viewpoint minutes earlier, but once the sun cleared the mountains, nearly everyone decided to go get breakfast. Someone in our group 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 this image was created from five bracketed exposures, adjusted in Lightroom 5.7 and combined in Photomatix 6 (beta 2) HDR software. I added another popular photo from this morning, produced using the prior version of Photomatix, for comparison on my blog: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2017/05/17/sun-rays-on-yosemite-valley/ #...

Conditions Look Great for Yosemite May 7-12! I've updated a blog post from May 2014 to summarize the amazing photography opportunities available during our workshop in Yosemite next week: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2014/05/14/yosemites-lunar-rainbow-moonbows-weak-this-year/ #yosemite #nationalpark #landscapephotography #photographyworkshops #waterfallwednesday Curator: Eric Leslie

Adam Ondra's Historic Free Climb of El Capitan I was wondering who would be climbing El Capitan at night, but when you have a record to break, every minute is precious. I learned after my workshop last week that we had captured Adam Ondra on his record-breaking free climb of El Capitan on the night of November 15. Outside Magazine has the full story: How Adam Ondra Pulled Off the Dawn Wall http://www.outsideonline.com/2138561/how-adam-ondra-pulled-dawn-wall #AdamOndra #climbing #Yosemite #ElCapitan #news #nightphotography #photographyworkshop #landscapephotography

Yosemite Fall Colors at Night Can't wait to be in Yosemite Valley tomorrow for my workshop!

Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Photography Sunset in Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows A short hike and a long lens yielded this stunning view in the High Sierra Saturday night. I hadn't visited this vantage point in a while, but it seemed like it might pay off for this sunset. www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com #yosemite   #nationalpark   #landscapephotography   #highsierra

Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows Sunday Night I headed up to the Tioga Pass Road in Yosemite to see how current summer water levels in the Tuolumne River might influence my workshop later this week. With water levels dropping, there are some nice calm spots for sunset reflections. 2016 Yosemite Schedule: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ #Yosemite   #landscapephotography   #photographyworkshops  

High Sierra Milky Way Seeing this photo from one of my Tioga Pass/Eastern Sierra workshops this summer makes me want to go back out! http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ #nightphotography   #landscapephotography   #photographyworkshops   #Yosemite   #nationalpark

New Album Covering Tioga Pass Road I'll kick off this new album with 35 photos from my visits to the Tioga Pass area over the past couple of months. We should be able to access this area from four or five of my Yosemite and Eastern Sierra workshops this year. http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/yosemite-national-park-photography-workshops/ Jeff Sullivan Photography  #yosemite   #nationalpark #NPS100   #landscapephotography   #photographyworkshops   #california  

Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Photography Milky Way Over Half Dome After July 4 fireworks in the Eastern Sierra, I headed up into the Sierra Nevada on Yosemite's Tioga Pass Road to capture some Milky Way shots. I waited at Olmsted Point until the Milky Way would be in the composition above Half Dome. This is a composite of two exposures, one for the foreground and one for the sky. There was a lot of light pollution here, as well as smoke along the horizon from California's fires, but the air was clear enough for a reasonable result. We'll be able to head up on Tioga Pass Road fr shots like this during my upcoming Eastern Sierra workshops this year: http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/eastern-sierra-fall-colors-photo-workshops/ #yosemite   #easternsierra   #landscapephotography   #photographyworkshops   #california
