Yosemite National Park by John Lazo

Towards the end of June, my girlfriend and I camped just outside Yosemite for five days. The weather was excellent, with a chill in the mornings and highs in the low-60s. We hiked Mt. Dana (the second highest peak in Yosemite) and explored the National Park. Some of my favorite images from the trip are below. They were all created with a Canon R5 camera and either a 15-35mm, 24-70mm, or 70-200mm lens. One of the pictures was created with an iPhone 12 Pro Max.
