Monkey See, Monkey Do

I enjoyed the day I spent in Yosemite Valley last month. I hiked around with my camera most of the day, maybe walking five or six miles, plus taking the tram to wherever I didn't want to walk. I wasn't the only guy taking pictures though. I spotted the guy above using some much more interesting equipment than the Rebel XT I was toting around. I suppose he was trying to follow in the steps of Ansel Adams or something, shuffling glass plates in and out of a big wooden box with a lens on it. I couldn't resist peeking over his shoulder and shooting the same shot he was after. Turns out he had a great view of Half Dome, as you can see below.
