RE: Air quality .... Perhaps moving L.A. a several hundred miles further away might help too ;)

Having dropped by Yosemite NP a few weeks ago to see the sights and by the way snap a few photos, the second thing I noticed after the awful air quality in the main valley was that all of the "serious" camera people were shooting with 200mm+ zooms on their cameras. What up with that? If there's anyplace on the
planet that cries out for prime lens shooting with a 28mm or wider, it's
Yosemite.  I didn't bring my wide adaptor to screw onto the C2500 so I am
going to have to do a bit of stitching, just to be able to show some of the
amazing vistas.

Of course for photos, Winter is a much better time of year, if only for the
better air quality.  This reflected in the shooters as well, with the view
camera crowd being in evidence at the prime viewing sites.

Re the air quality. You wonder whether they will ever get cars out of
the valley.

The 200mm+ zoom people are the same ones who take flash pictures of
the Grand Canyon.  ;-)
