Anitique Bridalveil Fall at Evening

    I was going to do a traditional black and white, but I wasn't happy with it, so I did a "Sepia" conversion. To me, it has more character than a traditional B/W. This is my own color tone that I called "Antique".

    I was going to spend the day at Tuolumne Meadows in the high country of Yosemite, but the car overheated. I got some more water in the radiator and decided to head for lower elevations. Not wanting to go home, I decided to stay around Yosemite Valley for the day. Ive been here a billion times before, but I never stopped at Valley View so I stayed until evening and got these photos.

    The car was fine the way home...

      I do like the original, but must say the antique look really adds to the effect! Wonderfully done!

      This is fantastic. Great job on the sepia conversion. I'm glad you waited around for the shots rather than just heading back home.
