Winter Light on El Capitan (shown below in The Four Seasons Collection) is James Randklev's most famous image. He calls this image his "gift." He explained, "I took an overcast version moments before, packed up the camera and walked back to my truck. Looking back, I saw this incredible shaft of light piercing through a cloud and playing out on the face of El Capitan. I rushed down to the stream bank and frantically set up my view camera to expose a dozen shots, each of them slightly different as this winter light faded away in about 2 minutes." This photo was chosen to be included in a recent book, "World’s Top Landscape Photographers" by Roto Vision Publishers in London. Congratulations, James!
