We were traveling down the west coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We finally broke away from the fog and were able to see beyond 100ft in front of us so we decided to stop at the first pullover stop we saw. Much to our amazement, we were looking down on one of the most beautiful scenes we’ve ever witnessed. It was so tranquil that we actually spent about a half hour just sitting there watching in silence.

How does water know which side of the rock to fall? Our world is built with phenomena often taken for granted, from swirling galaxies to the streams of the ground. Sometimes I find myself looking up rather than looking around. I decided to shift my focus in this situation and froze this low point of view image in time.

Celebrating the upcoming wedding from one of my good buds, a group of us took off for the mountains. We came across lakes and streams and beautiful valleys and stark mountains as we climbed along.

We started making a habit of 7 hour twilight treks from Los Angeles to Yosemite Valley for a day get away. We would periodically arrive in the park an hour or so before sunrise and hope to find sleep before the sun illuminated the park. However, sleep often eluded me during these brief rest periods. A tangible excitement kept my soul from sleeping, brewing within me like a spiritual caffeine. I would recline my seat and unsuccessfully attempt to dose off. Inevitably the sun emerged and with it the valley floor coated in a morning mist that floated with mystery waiting to be explored.

After killing a pizza at Camp Curry we rushed up here for a quick 30 min photo shoot at about 10:30p. This is one pic out of a sequence of about 150. Got some help from a bright setting moon behind me. Came out pretty fantastic. Was bummed I didn’t catch a single meteor after being out there for 30+ mins, but, you can’t win ‘em all.

Early one morning while waiting for the light to appear at Yosemite National Park epic Tunnel View, I decided to exercise a different perspective. I looked into the Tunnel. As this was a very snowy/icy day, there was very little traffic and it was easy to hear it approaching so I set up for a long exposure picture looking down into the Tunnel to capture it’s vanishing perspective lines.

We were already leaving the Valley as I noticed this view from the car and stopped. I wanted to freeze everything that is static and smooth the water, so it took quite some time setting up the rig for a long exposure.

They say age has a story. This gritty, HDR capture of the iconic El Capitan at Yosemite National Park personifies that. It’s incredible to wonder all the things this magnificent mountain has seen.

This was our first real glimpse of the splendor of Yosemite after we entered the park. The smoke from the nearby wildfire helped better convey the massive scale of the mountains.

We hiked from Inspiration Point where the visibility from the wildfire smoke was poor, to the base of Sentinel Dome, and thankfully the visibility had improved significantly. You can still see pockets of haze where the smoke lingered.

After an 11 mile hike in snowshoes and lugging a sled full of gear to the mountain top, we were finally rewarded with one of the most scenic views of Yosemite from an angle rarely seen in winter. A photo well worth the exhaustion!

After throwing itself off a cliff a half mile upstream, the Merced river roars under this bridge and down into the gorge beneath Glacier Point. This was taken on a trip from early May 2017. I’ve never seen the water this high. It was absolute insanity. I feel like I have to turn the volume down just looking at this picture.

We were looking to capture a foggy sunrise view of Half-Dome in Yosemite, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with us. The fog that did show up was low-lying and moving quickly through the trees like a ghostly river meandering through the canyon, swirling around the tallest trees in small eddies. Like too many forests, the valley is infested with borers, which has killed thousands of trees. The splash of golden trees mixed with the green is actually really beautiful, but a sad reminder of how fragile the forest is.

Just after sunrise we found this location in the center of the valley with a beautiful view of Yosemite Falls. Right now all the waterfalls are flowing from all the snow this winter. They should be flowing year round. Five of us friends took a one day road trip to make it for sunrise at Yosemite, slept during the day in our hammocks, and then shot sunset and night photos.

Yosemite Falls was incredibly crowded all day and night, but if you get there around 5am in the spring, you can have the place all to yourself for a bit. It’s a truly magical place.

Took this photo after waking up to a flat tire, at 4am on Christmas Eve. It was 14F (-10C) when I changed the tire, in complete darkness (well, I had a flashlight). I made it and was able to stop here for sunrise on my way to a garage shop.

Yosemite - Home of Half Dome. Yosemite is home to millions of visitors travelling across the world to see its picturesque views, and over-looming Granite Shelves. Among the most famous of them are Half Dome, sheared thousand of years ago from glaciers, this is the most famous due it is “Half” Dome appearance. Stay Adventurous! @michaelslouie

Decided to embark on a long over due trip to Yosemite National Park. Coming into the park the weather was slightly overcast and extremely foggy. There were some breaks in the fog and the views were breath taking until we came around the corner to this photo. All I could think is how lucky we are to live on such a planet. GOD has created such master pieces everywhere and I am so thankful to be able to absorb this all in and get a chance to show you all my creations.

We had just completed a strenuous hike, and all of us were so exhausted until we stumbled across deer in our path. They were just minding their business, not worried about us in anyway. I immediately snapped the photo of one of them crossing and continued to walk toward camp. It certainly was such a sweet moment!

We arrived in Yosemite around 6am. After catching the sunrising over Half Dome, we started exploring the valley floor. That’s when we came across two coyotes hopping around through a field, hunting for food. We began to approach them, and thankfully they didn’t notice. I was about ten feet away when they finally looked up and saw me. One ran, but the other took a slow turn and began to walk away. He looked back only for a brief moment before trotting off.
