Winter in Yosemite National Park

Yosemite National Park received significant snowfall in February 2019. With 18 to 24 inches of snow on the valley floor, we took advantage of the snowy landscape conditions to capture the following images throughout the park.

Also, this was the first time using the Leica Tele-Elmar-M 135mm f/4 lens on the Leica M10. For a lens produced in the 1990s, I must say the image quality is up to par with the current lineup of Leica M lenses.

Note: The images on this page were captured using the Leica M10, Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2, Leica Elmarit-M 90mm f/2.8, and Leica Tele-Elmar-M 135mm f/4 lens. Capture One by Phase One was used to process the RAW files to black and white images.
