Mono Lake is a large shallow saline lake located just East of Yosemite. On this evening, I had trouble finding a composition that I liked, as there were either people standing in my field of view, or the lighting was coming from the wrong angle. I don't know how I feel about this image, but figured I would post it in case anyone wants to provide some constructive feedback on what I could do better. Thanks for looking!

Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve and the Eastern Sierra.
Taken July 4th, 2019
Mono Lake, an alkaline lake famous for its limestone tufa formations, was the site of one of the largest environmental battles in US history. The city of Los Angeles bought a large chunk of the Owens Valley and the surrounding water rights during the Great Depression to create an aqueduct. Within 20 years most of the Sierra meltwater was diverted hundreds of miles. Owens Lake further south was completely dried up, while Mono Lake doubled in salinity and dropped 40 feet. After the Owens Valley was deprived of its water, it created huge alkaline dust storms which periodically sweep through the valley (you can see smaller dust storms in the distance in the photo if you look carefully). Under agreement today, Los Angeles now uses other sources and Mono Lake is now protected under the Mono Lake Tufa State Natural Reserve.
Saw these cloud formations over these huts and quickly grabbed my camera and knew they would look good in mono.

At first the mono conversion wasn't obvious of a previous upload but I think I prefer this over the colour.
Something a bit different for me, mainly because we don't get much mist up these parts or I'm not up at that time of day to see any mist.
It was a right pea souper, way too thick to get anything decent but within seconds it lifted so it was a matter of trying to be in the right place at the right time.
I'm a little unsure about the sun breaking through, it's a little over powering.

Actually Malaga was anything but mono. Beautiful colours all around. A lovely city. Sorry but I don't know the name of the square. I think the image has a slightly old fashioned air to it. Like it's been photographed in the 50's tho I can't take any credit for that.
Beautiful light at Mono Lake. You can see just how calm and peaceful this place is. What you do not see are the huge number of mosquitos that were busy attacking me.

Fiery Mono Nightfall
~~~~~
Epic dramatic fiery sunset sky at Mono Lake CA, originally taken July 12, 2012. This was the first trip I took for the sole purpose of photography. Back then, I was using a 2008 Nikon D90, waking up super early and staying out really late. I've slowed down on the "waking up super early" part. :D

Here is an image from Mono Lake California. It was my first visit, and I did a lot of exploring. What A cool place!
This is mostly one exposure with some highlights blended in from a slightly darker, second exposure using the luminosity blending techniques described in my current set of videos: "Image Editing Volume 1". Can't put up any links to those do to Flickrs strict restrictions, but you can find them on my website which can be accessed through my profile. Thanks for looking! Chip
A panorama I just took recently, when one could still walk around, meaning before the extended snowfalls of the last two weeks.
Did it handheld, 7 images in portrait orientation, resulting in a trimmed pano of 23110 x 5958px (137,7MP) which I usually don't really seek out to do for itself because even in my home setting, this panoramic format is not so satisfying to view.
Then Flickr with it's "best display size" thing is not exactly helping with that either, even enabling downloading of the original is fairly pointless, cause this (download) site seems to be designed to give the worst possible 'viewing experience'.
Anyway, and I usually don't do frames also, but I feel this asked for some kind of container.
So I see it more as an (semi) abstract or conceptual piece, I like how bright and almost featureless the overcast sky turned out in b&w, and it's simplicity when viewd as a whole.
This would perhaps look good as a big panoramic print on the wall (with more details overall, or at least in the shadows), ..or maybe not ;-)

Spent the weekend in the relative cool of the high country in the Eastern Sierra's this weekend. Took the opportunity to shoot the Milky Way with the Tufa formations of Mono Lake. Worth the time... pretty cool place to shoot with relatively low light pollution...
The encore after the main sunset at California's Mono Lake.
I often find that after the main sunset event fades to gray, the sun, below the horizon, hits the bottoms of the clouds and paints then a beautiful red. So the next time you photograph a sunset and it fads, stick around for another ten minutes or so and see what you get in the second act.

Taken on a cold stormy morning with the wind blwing in from the East in March. The water was very choppy and rocks braches and the fence were cover in ice.
I guess if I continue on in the way that I have in my posts that pretty soon people are going to start calling me Mono Lake Matt.
I can't help this obsession that caught hold of me from the very first time I visited this place around six years ago.
Ironically, the tufas that adorn the edges of this lake will be submersed in about six years as that the place is undergoing a reclamation project.
The tufa towers are what give this incredible lake a feeling like you've stepped off of the planet for a moment and got to experience life on Mars.
Tufa formations at Mono Lake with the sunset colors reflected in the lake. This evening in January we had such a beautiful sunset and the tufa formations and lake reflections brought it all together.
Mono Lake is believed to have formed at least 760,000 years ago, dating back to the Long Valley eruption. Sediments located below the ash layer hint that Mono Lake could be a remnant of a larger and older lake that once covered a large part of Nevada and Utah, making it among the oldest lakes in North America.
Mono Lake is a terminal lake in a watershed fed from melting runoff with no outlet. Dissolved salts in the runoff thus remain in the lake and raise the pH and the salt concentration.
Mono Lake is in a geologically active area at the north end of the Mono-Inyo Crater volcanic chain of the Long Valley Caldera. The geological activity is caused by faulting at the base of the Sierra Nevada, and is associated with the crustal stretching of the Basin and Range Province.
Volcanic activity continues in the Mono Lake vicinity: the most recent eruption occurred 250 years ago at Negit Island in Mono Lake. Panum Crater (on the south shore of the lake) is an excellent example of a combined rhyolite dome and cinder cone.

A single 50 minute exposure captures the stars as the world turns at Mono Lake, California. A setting moon provided just a little light before ducking behind the Sierra Nevada to the west, but mostly this is all just starlight. The large tufa along the lake rise like a fortress along the shore. One very prominent airplane trail was removed.
