Perhaps the most intriguing of Mono Lake's phenomena are the tufa (pronounced "toofah") towers visible along much of the shoreline. Tufa are made from calcium carbonate which makes its way into the lake from underground springs. The calcium and carbonate combine to form limestone which builds up over time around the lake bottom spring openings. Declining lake levels have exposed the tufa towers we see today. Some of these tufa towers are up to 30 feet high.
This is a picture of the San Joaquin River as it flows in the Mono Hot Springs area. This area is filled with hot springs that people visit when they come up into this area. There is a campground and a resort a short distance down stream from where I took this picture. The resort has cabins for rent , a store, and a restaurant available. I like to come here for the fishing. This area of the river can be great for fishing.
This year the snow melt made the river almost impossible to catch fish here. The large amount of water made the current very fast and the fishing holes disappear. If you look at the shrubs poking out of the river you can see how the water level is above normal. This picture was my best catch on this trip.
a mono version from my first nights astro photography night with mike ridley, still a bit to learn about post work i think, its quite tricky getting the balance right between detail in the sky and noise reduction, this is a single shot though so next time i think a well exposed shot for the foreground should sort some of the problems out, you can just see the andromeda galaxy spinning away above the shooting star on the left hand side of the shot!
HBM - Full mono version of this sunset over the bench and pier. I aligned the top of the bench with the horizon line ... I think this works overall, but a little break between the horizon line may work better?
Full Moon Rising from Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra, CA.
This is a single exposure. Minor adjustments were made in Adobe photoshop (white balance, contrast, level the horizon).

Sometimes the grass and snow compete to see whether Winter or Spring will dominate. Eventually Spring always wins.

After my early morning at Thornham I went scoping locations and eventually made my way to Cromer.
I took a look under the peer and liked the geometry. As it was midday and given the subject I decided on a Mono Chrome treatment.

was definitely NOT mono that Saturday evening... The clouds really looked promising when we got there, and true enough, the looming thunder clouds in the distance lit up from the setting sun from the back!
It's probably one of the best sunsets I've ever witnessed.. In fact, I had to turn DOWN saturation.. It was pretty darned UNREAL..
Comp's not all that great, but thought I'll throw this up just to showcase that wonderful sky me and my missus got to experience..
