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.
