Eastern Sierras Photo Workshop - Summer 2009
|
We started out in Las Vegas and drove trhough Death Valley to Lone Pine, our first stop. There we photographed the Alabama Hills both at sunset and at sunrise. The Alabama Hills are the foot hills to Mount Whitney and the site of many of the early western movies. After one night at Lone Pine, we traveled to our next staging area, the town of Bishop, California. From here we shot sunset a South Lake and Sunrise at North Lake. Both lakes are in the John Muir Wilderness area and are the trail heads for may trails into the Sierras. Also while at Bishop, we spent one sunrise shooting the Owens River and the Sierras and then we traveled to one of the highlights of the trip, the Bristlecone Pine forest in the White Mountains east of Bishop. After spending two nights in Bishop, we moved an hour north to June Lake which put us within striking distance of Mono Lake, Bodie ghost town and Yousemite National Park.
