Night Photography at Mono Lake (24mm)
It's great to see the level of Mono Lake coming up! I occasionally lead a seminar for the Mono Lake Committee, to support their work as well as the agencies that they work with (USDA Forest Service, California State Parks, etc.). In recent years we've raised approximately $14,000 via the Mono Lake Committee and over $60,000 through the Bodie Foundation. I feel it's important to give back and support resource management for our local parks and public lands.
Some guy walked up behind us, repeatedly spilled bright light onto our foreground, then yelled when light from our group accidentally spilled back where he had moved in behind us!
Such conflicts come with the territory in popular places, but it's a great example of why I don't support popularizing other, less crowded places for night photography. Common courtesy is disturbingly uncommon!
