The Peaks In Pastel
After shooting the night sky till 4:00am at Ancient Bristlecone Forest, Wayne dropped me at my campsite where I quickly found a nice spot within walking distance of my camp and plunked down to wait out the sunrise. It was somewhat difficult to fight off the increasing urge to fall asleep, but I could tell it was going to be colorful one with these thin wispy clouds drifting by. That’s the one of the worst things about landscape photography, the sleep deprivation, especially when your trying to photograph sunrises and sunsets and also shoot nightscapes. It’s extremely rewarding though, when the sky fills with color and your sitting there ready to shoot it. I photographed for about an hour and then passed out on my cot until I woke 4hrs. later in the direct sunlight. Time to do it all over again but at a new destination, I've been on the road 4 days and still have 4 more days to go.
FYI: Mt. Whitney is the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states, and rises like the phoenix from the western rim of the Great Basin Desert of California. At an elevation of 14, 495 feet, Whitney looms high above Death Valley, which is the lowest point in North America at 262 feet below sea level, less than 100 miles to the east.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great Sunday!! :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
