The new edition of The Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite is finally here! You can order signed copies directly from me, get it from the publisher, Yosemite Conservancy, or find it in the park at The Ansel Adams Gallery or Valley Visitor Center. It will be also available from Amazon soon.
The new edition has three new locations, and completely revised and updated information for the entire park. You’ll find new tips specifically designed for digital photography, including Digital Camera Settings, White Balance, Exposure, and HDR and Exposure Blending, plus Depth of Field, Filters, Night Photography, and much more. Most of the 100+ photographs are new too, and the reproductions are excellent—a pleasant surprise for an inexpensive guidebook.
Of course if you prefer the convenience of having all the information in your smart phone or tablet, everything that’s in the new book is also in the iPhone and iPad app.
Thank you all for your patience! I hope you like this new edition even more than the original.

Been looking forward to the new addition, had the old one for many years. Great resource. Wish you would have the app for Android, be useful on the tablet.
Thanks Alan. We’ve run into some difficulties with the Android version. We’re still working on it, but I can’t guess at a time frame right now.
Anything Yet???
We have no plans to offer an Android version at this time.
Hi Michael, Love the app. I always look forward getting your mail and thank you for your tips and instructions. I appreciate your passion for teaching and sharing your knowledge specially to a novice like me.
Thank you Julianna – I really appreciate that.
The book just arrived today from Amazon. Amazing book, full of information. We’re planning to visit Yosemite in Oct. Cannot wait.
Thanks son – glad you like the book!
Since we just got an ipad, we are wondering if the app is exactly like the book or is there more content in the app? Does the app have GPS for each location? Thank you for your reply.
I have the book and would love to also get the Yosemite app. I have a Kindle Fire i.e. a droid device. A long time ago I think you mentioned you planned availability of the Yosemite App for google droid operating system. Is that still in the works?
Best
Tom
Yes Tom, that’s still in the works. No estimate yet, but I hope by the end of this year.
What happened to the Droid version. Any News?
Sorry Tom, but the Android version is on indefinite hold. No plans to release one anytime soon.
