Watching the morning sun illuminate the tufa formations at Mono Lake is always a spiritual experience for me. I am grateful to see this transformation another time.
This was one of the last shots I took on this night. The light was really starting to fade and it was getting really dark. I liked the way the the Sierras had this nice glow and the light faded into a dark blue sky over Mono Lake. I really light the contrasting light tones in this shot.

« quelque chose est passé dans le réel, et nous sommes à nous demander — peut-être pas très longtemps, mais des esprits non négligeables le font — si nous avons une machine qui pense. »

This shot goes out to our talented friend Rich. They offered us a place to stay the first few nights of our road trip which got us off to a great start. They were so hospitable it felt like home. We also had the chance to shoot with Joshua Cripps on the same stop as well. Thanks again Rich. for welcoming us to Cali in style :)
Mono Lake is such a magical place and a must see for everyone. All the tufas make the comps endless here. We also met Tessa from England here who was doing a very similar road trip from Seattle to Mono Lake...small world. Hi Tessa :)
And last but not least thanks to Vinny for helping me with the editing until i get my new computer. This did not take much though as the colors were truly blowing up there. The people standing around me with point & shoots were going crazy too.
If i have not gotten to your stream yet i will this weekend so please hang in there :) Thanks so much for stopping by and happy weekend to you friends!
When we were shooting the sunset at Mono Lake I turned around and saw this view. The smoke from the Rough Wildfire in Kings Canyon had brought smoke into the Eastern Sierras and also this color in the sky. It made for a different look and colors that I thought I would share.
Interesting the things one finds at the back of a drawer. I recently was rummaging through a drawer where I keep some of my vintage lenses and came across a packet of 4 magnification filters, going from +1 to +4. They screw into the end of your lens and as you would expect, enlarge the view. I screwed the +4 filter into the end of one of my 50mm lenses and took a few shots around the house, including this tulip.
Another image from this uniquely beautiful Lake - just a bit later and a different angle.
The tufa's make for such an interesting composition.
This is a Northern view of Mono Lake from my recent trip. The tufas make for a great foreground when shooting here. My friend and I stayed until after the sun went down and it turned dark. We now had dilemma on our hands. We didn't get a campsite before we started shooting pictures and now we needed a place to sleep.
I vetoed trying to find a campsite in the dark; so we drove to Bishop to try to find a room for the night. Well, we soon discovered that the Tri County Fair was going on Labor Day weekend and all the rooms were booked. We had a room reserved at the local hostel for the next night and asked if there might be a chance that they put us up for Friday night. They were also completely booked, but they said we could sleep outside on the ground if we had sleeping bags. Well we did and took them up on the offer. We ended up sleeping on the patio on our air mattresses and were glad about it. The next day we were up at the crack of dawn and off on the next adventure.
One of the very fine 135mm lenses I tested once long time ago and, kind of forget it. It is bit slow but in every other aspect very fine lens.
