Mono Lake Pastel
Pre-dawn light on Mono Lake, as seen from the vista point above the Mobil station in Lee Vining. I took a quick trip up to Yosemite over the weekend to celebrate the road opening and spent Saturday night in Lee Vining. Got up early Sunday to catch the sunrise in the park and to get back to the Bay Area for Mother's Day activities. (5/12/2013)
(Technical note: I took this handheld about a half-hour before sunrise with my 80-400mm lens at 330mm. Even at the max ISO of the D600 (6400), I still was only able to get the shutter speed up to 1/80s, counting on the vibration reduction (VR) in the lens to get me the rest of the way. Definitely a fair amount of noise in the image, but it actually turned out pretty faithful to how things looked.)
