I took this photo in 1986 with a Fujichrome 100 and a Minolta X700, scanned with a Nikon SuperCoolScan 5000 and postprocessed with Photoshop and Silver Efex Pro 2. Concerning monochrome and Yosemite: Search for Ansel Adams in the internet and you will find a lot of beautiful monochrome photos by this famous artist, which he took in this National Park.
