Yosemite Valley, Old Recovered Photos

So I actually took these photos a couple of years ago on my old d3400. All of those photos ended up being killed in a hard drive failure, BUT I just recently went back through the photos on my phone, and turns out my d3400 had auto synced some of my camera photos to my iphone. Lucky day!

Anyways, here's a couple of compositions that struck me pretty well. A storm had just passed us on the 3 mile hike straight up the side of the valley. This was actually one of my very first photography trips.

What do you think?

Backups are a good thing.

Learned that the hardway unfortunately. Also now I only use an SSD on my desktop

Years ago, listening to Leo LaPorte, I learned that I should have three (3) copies of everything. My working copy (the original), a local backup (I use Acronis True Image 2020 software daily to an external Seagate 4TB hard drive since SSDs that big are mucho dinero), and an off-site backup (I use Carbonite, which updates over the Internet continuously.) That way I am covered even if my house were to burn down and be destroyed.

It's great having that surity. I need to look into a service; right now I'm using google drive but I still have to manually upload all of my photos which is a pain sometimes.

Both are beautiful but the top one is stellar. Glad you didn't lose them!

Couldn't put it better. Great job, Trevor.

Thanks so much Ruth and Chris 🙏

My favorite is the first picture. Two cheers for the backup!

The first one is incredible. I love the white flowers in the foreground, the distant rain, and the feeling of depth with the river and cascading layers leading you in to the distance.

I hope you're backing up your photos now! I'd be sad to lose these if I were you.

Thanks so much Yuriy! I am trying to back up all that I can. Don't want to go through the heartbreak of losing photos again. I had some great shots of Rainier that are gone now lol

Hi Trevor. I liked the clarity of concept in second image. both trees complement the focal element of water fall.
thanks.

Thank you Vijay!

These are beautiful. Yellowstone is like a living storybook. Lucky save!!!!
