Story:
On my second trip to Yosemite, taking my 5 of children, I had to balance the vacation with my photography. We had rented a house in a small village which is within the park, called Cozy Bear. My children expected to see bears, but it was winter.
Had taken a large quantity of film: color, B&W and infrared, which miraculously pass the x-rays without damage.
While driving I saw a sign towards Sentinel Dome where Ansel Adams had photographed the Jeffrey Pine years earlier. When I arrived, I sadly discovered that the tree had died some time ago.
Although I focus mostly on images of Water, impressed with the dramatic scene, anyway, I took a series of photographs.
For this image I used B&W infrared film, which gave a slight glow around it and a dark sky. This is my way of showing a beautiful Yosemite landmark seen differently.
