A late afternoon image of a tufa formation in the lake. I was shooting with Jeff Sullivan, one of the instructors for our upcoming landscape photography workshop. Even after shooting landscapes for almost 50 years, I learned some new things from Jeff. He is a master photographer and a great teacher. Anyone who comes to our Mammoth Lakes workshop in June is in for a great learning experience.
We had some incredible light and conditions at Mono Lake. The wind would blow and then go calm and we would get these reflections. In the distance on the left, is a dust devil that is picking up alkali dust from the far side of the lake.
Photographing at Mono Lake can you very different images. the later level changes from season to season and year to year as it exposes or covers the tufa. Here is an image I took at this same area in a lower water year.

Here is an example of a composition where I put the horizon, the water line and the Point of Interest in the center of the image. Usually, you want to avoid doing that but here I think it works. The major compositional element or the Point of Interest here is obviously the large double tufa tower. This composition includes several minor elements, the smaller tufa, the reflections and the dust devil in the background.
Thank you RC Photoclub for making this your Photo Of The year for 2014.
