Discover my favorite photo spots of 2010.

2009’s top list was very successful. Many of my readers appreciated the short summary and keeping with this tradition, I hereby present to you my favorite places of 2010. This year was very exciting. I introduced my new iPhone application, a travel companion that makes all my articles available for offline consumption. I have traveled to many new places, collecting photographs and ideas for new location guides, and much more. I have revisited many places and I have discovered new places as well.

Wrapping up another fantastic year of photography, gives me the chance to go back to some of my favorites again.

US-35 Skyline Boulevard

2009/08/11 – 05:02

Skyline Boulevard follows the mountain ridge between the Silicon Valley and the more popular coast Highway 1 between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Bikers love Skyline Boulevard, a curvy road winding through the mountains with a few restaurants, scenic overlooks and many regional parks. During the summer months, the restaurant in Sky Londa boasts the largest motor biking lot in this region of California.

How to photograph Glacier Point

2009/05/26 – 05:35

I consider Glacier Point the most magnificent view in Yosemite, a bold statement for a park famous for its superb views. Glacier Point presents views of the west side of Yosemite Valley from Yosemite Falls to Half Dome and Nevada and Vernal Falls.

How to photograph Taft Point

2009/05/22 – 05:55

The splendid views of El Capitan, Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Valley from Taft Point are legendary. Yet much to my surprise, the hike still has not caught on with the lazy crowds. The low difficulty of the hike combined with the unique views it offers, should have put Taft Point on everybody’s favorite list by now. Gladly that is not the case yet, maybe because the views of nearby Glacier Point are so much easier to have.

How to photograph Yosemite Sentinel Dome

2009/05/20 – 14:48

From Sentinel Dome, you get a 360-degree view of Yosemite Valley and the backcountry, making it one of the most popular hikes in the park. It is relatively easy, even with lots of photography gear. The accessibility, combined with a completely unobstructed view of the sky and the remote location make Sentinel Dome a favorite amongst star photographers. It is only second to Half Dome in height, but much easier to climb.
