During the past month, I made many trips to nearby Yosemite Valley, and so I’d like to share a collection of these new images. Even though I have lived in or near Yosemite since 1977, I found fresh compositions and light/weather conditions that made for invigorating sessions, and new work for my ongoing Yosemite portfolio. What made this spring season more special was that I was able to share my love and vision of Yosemite with private workshop students.
Many of my students have shared the photographs created on my William Neill Private Yosemite Workshops Flickr Group page. This collection also includes images from last fall and winter, which will give you an idea of the photographic opportunities for those seasons too. Here are some of my images from last fall: Yosemite Autumn. One of the images was the feature image in my Outdoor Photographer column entitled Natural HDR.
If you are interested in exploring Yosemite’s autumn color season, now is the time to make room reservations, and book a day or two with me. The peak of color is generally late October and early November. Please note that I am also happy to work with small groups. If you have any questions about the possibilities, just send me an email.

Thanks, I enjoy that one too, just a little bit different from the norm.

They are all lovely – I especially like the ‘Dogwood and Morning Light’ – the light & shutter speed make the water look like spun metal!

Love the first image – such energy, and such an unusual composition. Also, for its complete contrast, the sunrise view.
Thanks!
