For this shot, I wanted to do a long exposure shot to make the water smooth. In the bright sun, I lowered the ISO all the way, use in camera and external neutral density filters and of course a tripod. (Sony A7RII, Zeiss FE 16-35 F4 ZA OSS at 20 mm, 1.5 second, ISO = 50, f/22, ND filter). Difficulty: 4/10, Shibuya Score: 8/10
Yosemite Valley (which is only 3% of the whole Yosemite National Park) is kind like a loop. You drive in on the right (south) side of the valley and come out on the left (north) side. Before you come back to where the loop splits on Northside drive, right on the Merced River, there is a parking lot on the left hand side. This is a popular angle and spot to take pictures but on internet it wasn't clear exactly where it was. No hiking required. This is right off the parking lot.

Don't neglect the State Parks. Some State Parks are better than some of the National Parks. Valley of Fire State Park is one of those. Only 1-2 hours from Las Vegas, you are in this incredible landscape. From the visitor center, drive north. You will drive through this narrow valley with steep red walls. The leading pass, good contrast with the background mountains with different color/mineral content and awesome clouds made this pic unique. (Sony a7RII, Sony FE 70-200mm F4 G OSS at 200mm, f/7.1, ISO = 2000, 1/250). Difficulty 6/10. Shibuya Score: 8/10 (what is this?)
