Eastern Sierra Workshop – 7/15/2009

Two days have slipped by with no update on the workshop and for good reason.

Yesterday we began the day with sunrise at Lake Sabrina.  We had another morning with great alpenglow (but not as good as Whitney the morning before).  From there we went to North Lake where the photography was superb.  No photos ready yet though but I’m very excited about them.

The big event yesterday was the Bristlecone Pines.  We drove out to my favorite tree and spent, oh, maybe four or five hours there including some night photography.  We didn’t pack up and head down the hill until 9:30 and didn’t get back to our hotel rooms until after 11:00.  Hence, no photos.

This morning we were out at the Owens River for sunrise and got some very nice photographs.  Then we worked our way up 395 to Lee Vining.  We stopped at Hot Springs and had a great discussion of the moods of this location and the photographic potential.  Finally, we got into Lee Vining, checked into our rooms and headed up Tioga Pass for sunset.  We went into the park (Yosemite) and found a couple of great locations.  After a late dinner it is time to recharge batteries, clean cameras, upload fles and hit the sack.  One more early morning and that will be the end.

We were all able to get a lot of keepers and grow as photographers.   The workshop has been very successful.  I’ll get some pictures up soon (but not tonight).
