Storm clouds and the Black Oak

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
The Yosemite black oaks trees are great to photograph especially in the winter. The black oaks are plentiful in the Yosemite Valley floor and provide a great subject matter. As the name suggest this variety of oak has striking colorful leaves and black bark. Add in some snow with the Yosemite black oaks makes a really great contrast. As we were out in the meadows the storm clouds were enshrouding the nearby cliffs creating some interesting and moody light. Then in brief moment, the light shown through illuminating El Capitan creating an amazing contrast with that stately black oak in the foreground.
