Half Dome, by Paul Roark
I suppose Half Dome is the best known and photographed object
not only in Yosemite, but in the Sierras and perhaps even
California. As with most of my scenics, however, I prefer a little
atmosphere around the Dome. So, it looks a little different than
the customary shots.
In fact, as a photographer, I've often said that bad weather
is great.
This photo was taken with my Rollei SL66 and the 250 mm lens. I
don't often find the 250 that useful, in part because it often
eliminates the context of the subject that most prefer to see.
However, in Yosemite, the objects are so well known that
no context is really needed. As such, the 250 becomes very
useful.
