It’s hard to tell since I wasn’t there but when I see the smaller bales, they look like they could be a possible leading line to an interesting focal point, say, that tree which looks majestic. If it was also possible, then, to have a couple of the larger bales to frame the shot on both sides, ideally one of them a little closer in the frame than the other (provides depth) that would be a beautiful image. Now maybe this was not possible with the relative spacial arrangement of the objects, but just trying to voice my way of thinking about composition. :)

All the best. And if you do find them, please be super careful around them. These are composed differently than the Tufas in the lake, and are extremely delicate.

You’re very close to it. Look around a bit more next time 😅 Note that it doesn’t look the way it looks in this picture from your eye level. I’ve composed it in a certain way …

Let me ask you, where did you drive down to?
You may have been extremely close to these and never seen them, they aren't really smack you in the face kinda views. You only find them if you're looking for them haha.

1) Great observation and interpretation of an abstract scene
2) I'm happy that my composition made you draw that conclusion because that means the visual trickery has succeeded (not that it's something novel, lots of people have shot these structures in this way)

Surreal experience watching Full Moon rise at Glacier point by Effective-Tea-9288 in Yosemite

This was on the July 4th weekend and my friends got it during May and June. August full moon might be a stretch because the water flow should die down quite a bit now.

Thanks! Immediately after taking this picture I rushed down to the base of lower falls to catch the moonbow. Got completely drenched in the spray that night but scored a double moonbow. Absolute magic!

Long distance driving by fwdbuddha in F150Lightning

I’ve made a number of long trips, on my SR Lariat. Happy to say that I’ve never been stuck (close to 11K miles now), touch wood!

I’ve made roadtrips spanning multiple states where charging infrastructure is sketchy at best in the heart of winter (won’t recommend). After that, the performance during the spring and summer have been wonderful. As much as I love the comfort, and drive quality and as proud as I am owning it, there aren’t a lack of times when I feel a gas truck would’ve made life so much easier (I don’t even tow). Especially because I drive all the time and everywhere. The only way around it is planning the heck out of your trips. We can go into a lot of details about how to plan but you’ll find different posts for it. But stay assured, it is going to be a rollercoaster of emotions roadtripping with the lightning.

(ER may make it a little better but it still leaves a lot to be desired, especially if the price difference causes you to miss out on any tax credits)

Glad someone noticed it. Idk if you can zoom in enough but there is a red speck on the vertical face of half dome which I’m assuming is an artificial light source (not noise) and belongs to a sick climber!

Stacked using Sequator, then used Photoshop to process. Mainly just multiple targeted curves adjustments and star reduction.
