You hear about it in Song and Show.

Route 66
Main Street of America


Williams, Az
"Gateway to The Grand Canyon"

Yosemite National Park

One of the planet's most beautiful place.

Please click on below for the Panoramic shot of Tenaya Lake.

Possible the best shot of the entire trip.
I would spend a week just camping there if I could.
The surface elevation of the lake is 8000ft above sea level.

Yes it was chilly. 4 degrees C

The lone Sierra Juniper tree.

Possible one of the most photographed tree other than the Giant Sequoias

View from Tunnel View Vista point.

Yosemite's granite marvels. Snowcaped and surrounded by Pine forests. Tenaya lake also seen.

Tenaya Lake again from a different angle.

One of the Giant Sequoia Trees at Yosemite.

One of the perks of a driving trip there is the drive itself. The place has one of the most amazing and often precarious mountain roads you could find. From our Lodging which at 4000ft above sea level (about the height of Cameron's Gunung Brinchang Peak) to well over 8000ft. What an amazing change in elevation.

This is the way up. Little did we know how much better the drive would end up.

Missing the word "Slow"

Driving this. A brand new 2011 Toyota Sienna minivan...
Not bad a "Van". 3.5L V6.. 6 speed auto with manual overide.
Drove pretty well given the mountain roads.

but.....

I would have really liked to drive this....

Oh well. Next time........

If you are ever in that knack of woods...
Do yourself a hugh favour and make some time to go spend a week there.

Raynox DCR 250 Macro conversion lens

Raynox DCR 250 mounted on Canon 450D + 18-55IS kit lens.

Picked one of these 2nd hand in very good condition. Initial test seems quite impressive for the price.

Shot with Canon 7D + 50mm F1.4, Wireless Flash backlight with Canon 430EX and on board flash for fill.
1/250, F1.4, ND8 filter


Test shot


The screw is actually only 4mm long from the tip to the bottom of the picture.
DOF is insanely shallow even at F20.
