We’re delighted to feature the following guest blog from master aerial photographer and our pal Bob Campbell. Bob was too unassuming to include a link to his stunningly beautiful work on his site, so we’ll do it for him. Thanks, Bob.

I just watched the Ansel Adams video. I studied with Ansel in Yosemite in 1968 and we became friends. Ansel introduced me to William Garnet, the noted aerial photographer, and my path in life was set.

Here are a couple of aerialsof Yosemite which I shot last fall. The flight restrictions over the park require that aircraft stay 2,000 feet above the highest the highest point within 2,000 feet horizontally. It kind of spoils the granduer of the place. Shooting a mountain from above makes itseem rather insignificant. But the photos are interesting as an overview of the valley in relation to the surrounding peaks.
