With a subject as beautiful as Yosemite Valley; A photographer can be pretty unskilled and under-funded and still take an amazing picture.

Location

The original set was taken from the overlook at the tunnel. It faces El Capitan and Cathedral Peak.

I stitched everything together with Hugin which actually did very well. I will do another post just for that a little later.
