I had to act fast

Mono Lake on Christmas Day

 

The sun was peeking through the clouds and started shedding light on the snow covered Mono Dome and Lee Vining Peak.

 

The lake was calming just in time, as if it was a cue. And of course, as it got brighter, I had to run longer and longer in spite of having the 10-stop ND filter. I was just simply happy that the reflections the mountains and the clouds were getting clear.

 

The sunlight was slowly waking up Mt. Warren in the far distance (the snow-covered tallest peak in the top right corner of the frame).

 

Then, this gorgeous light would soon disappear. I had to act fast to take full advantage of this opportunity.
