Yosemite Half Dome Waterfall picture
1. A first look at it and I was impressed and even believed it. Voted 4 stars for it.
2. Later realized it must be a fake picture. April fool joke?
I haven't been to the top of the Half Dome, water runoff in the form of a ribbon fall is possible. But nothing this big.
(I am a first time user. My thanks to Summitpost. I apologize if I am saying something stupid here.)

Re: Yosemite Half Dome Waterfall pictureraghaven,
It's actually a snow cornice falling down the face of Half Dome, Click on my user name to access my photos as there's a series of 3 pics showing the event.
Happy Trails,
Dunk

double exposure?This looks like a double exposure, a composite picture that fortuitously combined an exposure of Half Dome with an exposure of Bridal Veil Falls on the same negative. Also it could be a composite picture synthesized on a computer or two negatives printed together.

Re: double exposure?Wrong. If you look at the other photos, it is clearly not water.

Re: double exposure?Hi Nyle, the picture is real, and probably not too rare. I took it from Mirror Lake, and not but about 30 minutes earlier I had missed a slide and had damned my luck for not being in a place to take a picture. As luck would have it, I got another chance. First the rumbling began, then a large slab of snow slid off the top. It all pretty much happened slowly too, allowing time to take multiple pics. As far as double exposures go, I'm not an advanced enough photographer to do that. I could probably manage to cut and paste Bridalveil in front of Half Dome, but it would be sloppy and obvious. I would imagine that this slab slide occurs every spring.

To Nyle WaltonYou are obviously allowed your own opinion, but so am i, and your thought is way out of line. Blow this photo up with photoshop and look at it again: it is real. Or, go visit the park and talk to any of us who work (ed) there, and you will learn this is far more common than you apparently think. What IS rare is that someone got it on camera; but even that isn't so rare actually. Someone "happened" to be in the right place to take the legendary sequence of Mt St Helens exploding; someone "happened" to be in place on Washington Column to record the great rockslide off Glacier Point in July 1996 which killed a 19 year old, and so on.

I apologize for my dark suspicionI can see that you were in just the right place at the right time to take this momentous picture. I couldn't imagine there was enough snow on the top of Half Dome to produce such a ephemeral cascade.
