Portfolio 1:
Yosemite National Park in WinterAll Photos ©1998 Mark Forbes
This photo was taken in February 1998 following El Nino snowstorms.
One of the most recognizable sights in Yosemite Valley looks comfortable with a snow cape, framed in snowy branches.
Behind the Awanee Hotel, the snow on this oak tree melts and turns directly from solid (snow) to gas (water vapor), a process called sublimation.
Along the winding Merced River, snow-shimmering trees almost glow in the early morning light.
This shot is from the same position as the above photo, but was shot on Fujichrome Velvia.
