Compression & Clarity in Yosemite
The Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II is my favorite lens for capturing the sheer scale of the mountains. I recently used it to photograph Half Dome in Yosemite, and the way it compressed the distant peak against the swirling clouds was incredible.
Even shooting handheld from park overlooks, the built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) ensured my shots were tack-sharp. While many people reach for a wider lens in the valley, a telephoto zoom like this allows you to isolate the granite textures and dramatic light that make Yosemite so special.
For even more reach, I sometimes pair this with the Sony 1.4x Teleconverter to turn it into a 280mm lens while maintaining that f/4 aperture.
