Yosemite Church
by Matt Bonnes
Taken later in the afternoon in early May of this year, the lighting on the church as well as Upper Yosemite Falls created this opportunity to pair the stunning beauty of the granite cliffs with the simple, but elegant, architecture of the church located in Yosemite valley.
Equipment: Nikon D80, 18-135mm Lens
Matt Bonnes
I have always been interested in photography, but only recently purchased an D-SLR (Nikon D80) about two years ago, and have been enjoying it ever since.
