Just the Best!
Scott Loftesness

Michael Frye's book about photography in Yosemite is a classic - a must have guide. This new iPhone app version of Michael's Yosemite book is superb. This app give you everything you need to explore the best venues in Yosemite for photography and provides very useful tips on how find the best shots - at any time of year. With maps that work in the Valley (your phone probably won't have coverage!), you'll have just what you need to have a great photographic adventure in Yosemite. By the way, my son and I took a private one-day workshop in Yosemite with Michael last fall - superb! Michael's the master when it comes to photography in Yosemite these days. If you love photography and you're going to Yosemite, you need this app!

An excellent book is now a perfect app!
Pasadena Reader

As a long time user of Michael Frye's excellent book, I was delighted to see its transformation into an app. And what an app it is! The design and functionality perfectly matches the subject matter. The "Extra" features are not to be overlooked. They are wonderful value-added features in a digital environment. Bring this app to Yosemite and all you need is your camera and your own vision. Congratulations Michael on a job very well done.

The Photographer's Guide To Yosemite
Photo Pat

I love this photographer's guide application. It's easy to use, informative, and the inclusion of maps, locations, directions, and the best time of day to photgraph the well known sites of Yosemite National Park are all outstanding features. Also, the application works anywhere. So you can refer to the App while you're at the photo-site location.


Fantastic
Mark Foglietta

Well worth the money! On a recent trip to Yosemite it put me in the right spot at just the right time for a fantastic photo opportunity! I just need Michael's talent and I am good to go! Maybe for the next version he can add that feature. If you are going to Yosemite take a workshop with him otherwise this is your best option for seeing and photographing this amazing park.


A photog must have!
Elle Stone

If you're a frequent visitor to Yosemite, or are planning your first trip, this app is a must have. Michael has years of intimate experience photographing Yosemite & surrounding areas. Why not ensure that you'll walk away from your Yosemite adventure with great images. Michael takes the guess work out of where and when to shoot during your stay, be it Summer, Winter, or somewhere in between. Great information & functionality as well!


Simply the Best App for Yosemite Photographers...
RJVALENTI

Michael Frye knows Yosemite inside and out. His printed Photographer's Guide to Yosemite has been the standard reference source for some time now (mine is well worn). This app takes his fantastic guide book to a whole new level. It is simple to use and navigate around. It has clear, concise information about where to be to capture your iconic image, but best is Michael also tells you "when" is the best time of day and season for each particular site. This app includes loads of tips that both the advanced and beginner digital photographer can gain from. It is a must have app if you plan on visiting Yosemite, whether you have been there before or not, you will gain new insight and come away with some beautiful images.


A app to help plan your shooting schedule in Yosemite
BG&%$#

Just returned from a 2-week trip to Yosemite and was fortunate to shoot fantastic images with the aid of this app. The information on all of the locations was extremely helpful as we planned each day’s shooting schedule. Since cell service is sketchy in the park, it was helpful that the maps are burned into the app. Using this app from my itouch was much easier than lugging around the book! I give this app a 2 thumbs up! Sign up for Michael's blog - it contains useful info and up to date leaf changing reports!
