Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 160 (Sentinel Dome Trail – How Far Away?)

Below is the photo from yesterday’s post. This was the top of Sentinel Dome as seen from a distance.

Since I had my Canon SX50 HS bridge camera which has quite a reach, I decided to take a picture of a person standing on top of Sentinel Dome from the place in the trail where the above photograph was captured. I could see people up there, but I could only recognize them as abstract shapes.

This is a picture taken with the Canon SX50 HS super zoom camera from basically the same place as the picture above.

I was gratified when reviewing this picture that it captured as much of the detail as I had hoped. We were very far away and only the zoom lens made this a possibility. Thank goodness for image stabilized cameras!
