After spending the last 6 days shooting nightscapes with Wayne Pinkston we managed to get to Mono Lake to shoot a few panoramas. We had to find a location far away from the south tufas because being a new moon and on a saturday night the main area was a zoo, kids running around with flashlights photographers stumbling around in every direction. It was kinda like drunk disneyland, Hehe.

A long exposition, with a big stopper filter, can produce something little different at the Mono Lake, in California.
Late evening view after the sun set at Lake Mono in California. Took this capture well after all the other photographers (saw about 5 here) left. The lighting was great and the moon there in the sky was a nice added bonus drawing my attention.
Many do not know that there is a crater there next to Mono Lake ... and on this magical night the lava started to flow from a new opening ...
... or maybe there was just some lights from another photographer that lit the scene. This photographer was walking over to coordinate some light painting he was doing and the impact it might have on our captures. He had a red light on his head and a small led flashlight as well that combined for the light there among the tufa.
Then again, I like the idea of the lava instead ;)
“For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.”
― Gregory David Roberts, for the book "Shantaram"

So many snowdrop photos....think they go very well together
with mono.
My shot for #monomonday (is that even a thing on flickr?) is the famous lone tree in Glencoe. Often photographed more to the left so the tree doesnt cut the mountains… but I quite liked the shot moving more left due to the strong light I had at the time which was blowing out much of the scene… I also liked the more elongated shape of the tree!
