Retracing a trip I made back in August 2006, I wanted to show M Yosemite, Mono Lake and Bodie.
This picture was particularly painful as I discovered that all the shots taken tonight to be full of dust spots. So about 70 clone operations later, here is the result. I hope you like it.

Hasselblad 503cx 50mm T-max 100. I was out there alone till early morning doing moon light photos. Very interesting feeling actually. I started off kind off worried, but later I felt used to being along in the dark.
An instantly recognizable sight for anyone who has spent time photographing the tufa towers along the shoreline

At Mono Lake I was drawn to the early morning light in the small bushes surrounding the parking lot.
"mono" means a thing or things in Japanese.

I know this kind of defeats the purpose of photographing the northern lights, but I figured I'd give it a shot and see how aurora looks in black and white. taken in central Alberta north of Sundre.
Arrived a little too late for sunset and was always 'chasing' this LE. I've probably pushed the raw file too hard here as a consequence! Anyhow it's a first attempt at an arty type mono here...dare say I'll be back to try again.
Pre-dawn light on Mono Lake, as seen from the vista point above the Mobil station in Lee Vining. I took a quick trip up to Yosemite over the weekend to celebrate the road opening and spent Saturday night in Lee Vining. Got up early Sunday to catch the sunrise in the park and to get back to the Bay Area for Mother's Day activities. (5/12/2013)
(Technical note: I took this handheld about a half-hour before sunrise with my 80-400mm lens at 330mm. Even at the max ISO of the D600 (6400), I still was only able to get the shutter speed up to 1/80s, counting on the vibration reduction (VR) in the lens to get me the rest of the way. Definitely a fair amount of noise in the image, but it actually turned out pretty faithful to how things looked.)
After yesterdays colorful image thought I'd post a b/w image.
A b/w version of an earlier shot of Idaho's Galena Summit and southern Sawtooths. An area I look forward to returning to.
Color version in comments.
Your visits, remarks and suggestions are appreciated.
This is Mono Lake after sunset. By this point the rest of the photographers had left, and it was almost completely dark. For a few minutes this pastel scene emerged, only to fade away moments later.

I wanted to build something roverish for the theme of this month, but I wanted it to be different. So I started thinking mono-track vehicle and this thing ensued. A little to large to be classified as a rover perhaps, but I managed to address the key concern of vehicles of this type. Basically it combines the ability to lean into corners like a bike - with the side tires for stability/drag to help cut sharper corners faster then just a lean. This system actually functions quite well.
This is not quite as refined as some of my builds, but it's just an idea. Now I just need to scale it back down to rover size.
Mono Lake by itself is an interesting place, but the setting, with the mountains in the background, adds much more interest to the scene.
An early trip up to Derwent Water and I settled on Crow Park to take a shot of Derwent Island. The water level was quite low so the usual lead in lines of fences were largely redundant. I settled on this old tree stump to give some foreground detail an thought I would try a mono composition using Nik Silver Efex. Must go again but I will await a later dawn 4.45 am is a bit early!
One of my rejects from my Eastern Sierras trip. I didn't post this shot simply because my other mono shot was better. For this one the sun had already gone down behind the mountains so it has a much different mood. Still I love the sky and the comp so here you go ;)
