The Yosemite National park in California, USA offers some of the most impressive landscapes to capture.
With special mountain formations and geological phenomena this is a unique place.

Not only world known landscape photographer Ansel Adams took advantage of that interesting landscape, but also nowadays thousands of tourists are shooting pictures in this scenery every year.

While today the images found on sharing platforms are shot mainly in digital Ansel Adams used a large format camera. Quite a lot of heavy gear to bring to these places.

The park is well known for its granite cliff formations, waterfalls, and giant sequoia tree groves.
Especially the cliffs and waterfalls offer plenty of opportunities for interesting black and white photography. There are very interesting conditions especially under certain light the contrast and texture which can be achieved is amazing.
