Photo Details

  • Title: Yosemite Lightning Strike
  • State/Province/Region: California
  • Country: United States
  • Nearest Area: Yosemite National Park
  • Nearest Town: Yosemite National Park
  • Description: At Glacier Point a large audience watched as a fantastic storm moved in over Yosemite Valley. Shortly after the National Park Service cleared the area because lightning strikes started touching down on the other end of the valley. So I went to another look out point about a mile or two before glacier point. I waited at the area for almost two hours and 300+ shots later I was lucky enough to catch a lightning bolt, part of a rainbow, and some amazing light on Half Dome all in the same composition.
  • Brief Directions: About 1-2 miles before Glacier Point.
  • Notes:
  • Best Season: Summer
  • Gear: Nikon D70, Nikkor 18-70/3.5
