It’s such a blessing to be just a couple of hours away from one of the most beautiful places on earth, Yosemite National Park, and recently, I had a chance to shoot some engagement portraits there. Since the Sony a6000 is quickly becoming my favorite camera to shoot with nowadays, I decided to pick up a super wide angle lens to add to my arsenal for my trip to this amazing place. Here are a few sample images from this recent portrait session.
What I brought along with me to this trip. The Sony a6000, 24mm f/1.8 ZA, 55mm f/1.8 ZA, and the Zeiss 12mm f/2.8 Touit.
