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.
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.

Mono Lake South Tufa area. July 2018.
FYI: Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. Mono Lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit this lake each year.

Chester is my home City, and I have never seen it look so beautiful.

The color version was really pretty as the lake is so blue, however even when I was shooting this scene I knew I would post it in mono.
It was a difficult shoot as I was being bitten alive by sandflies (pesky NZ insects that leave you itching for days lol)
We went to the South side of Mono Lake to find a good spot for sunset shots and to shoot the tufas. The wind had picked up in the afternoon and the shoreline was getting pretty good sized waves for a lake. The tufas are formed under water when calcite mixes with carbonates in the water. They are actually a form of limestone. This area should be in the water but the city of LA has been taking water from the Eastern Sierras and diverting it to their city. This caused the water level in the lake to drop and expose the tufas. They are slowly getting the water level back up but it is still pretty low.
