New on 500px : search & rescue at yosemite | usa, california by acseven by acseven

Last 28th may a hiker slipped on a wet slab of rock at the base of the Upper Yosemite Falls stream, being flushed about 30 meters (100 feet) down the rapids, but still able to hang to a large boulder and resting on top of it waiting for rescue.

I was hiking the Yosemite Falls trail when the heli search and rescue team approached the falls. While I shot the scene (fallen hiker wasn’t visible from my viewpoint) the heli pulled back and hiking ground rescue teams hurried past me to the location. Luckily, he ended up being rescued, alive.

And I got a heli in front of a huge waterfall!!

New on 500px : Leopard Lake by sysaworld by sysaworld

Taking photo to a lake during thaw is a very difficult and dangerous job. Everyday the conditions on his surface changes, normally everything finish within a week, the lake will be completely free of any sign of snow the kept him suffocated during the winter season. The most insidious thing is the risk of going inside for a dive, a very cold dive. I tried it several times and I can say that it is better to stay inside for no more than thirty seconds. Have fun.

New on 500px : Sunset Bath by javierbravo by javierbravo

Capture taken in San Diego, USA. I really enjoy how the reflection of the sunset bathes the passionate sea in this beautiful location.

I used a ND filter to capture a good balance of light and water movement.

Cheers,
