[Leica] Some film from Yosemite

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

I like the first one. At locations like Yosemite, any photograph of the
famous sights gives a strong feeling of Deja Vu, so I think getting in
close and with a narrow frame of reference is the way to go. Try some ICM
(Intentional Camera Movement) next time!

Cheers
