I've added 9 more images from the last few days to the front of my Topaz Lake album. Storms have been moving through the area all week.
I took my kids out shopping yesterday to replace any Winter clothing they've outgrown. My daughter +Nicole Sullivan is taking a photography class at her school, and one of her assignments this week is to visit a photography gallery, so we stopped by the expanded gallery for +Elizabeth Carmel in Truckee. It's definitely worth a stop when you're in the North Lake Tahoe area.
Another assignment Nicole has is to capture a landscape photography shot. For something different we drove over by Sand Harbor, and with the sun having set and waves on the lake, she tried a couple of 30 second exposures to see if she could abstract the water moving around rocks in the lake. We got back in the car and were about to drive away when a photographer walked by, back to his truck parked in front of us. It turned out to be +Jim Patterson! Small world. We chatted for a while and it sounds like he's just getting back from a great trip… can't wait to see some of his images.
Given all the sunrises I've been capturing this week I now tend to wake up automatically about an hour and fifteen minutes ahead of sunrise. I looked out at 5:45 am this morning and it looked like it could be stunning. +Lori Hibbett, Nicole and I all headed out in PJs and bathrobes… that's what I should have taken a photo of! I wanted to shoot with two cameras, but my newest intervalometer seems to have failed, and while I was messing around with that I was neglecting my other camera shooting, so I think that time-lapse sequence is mostly over-exposed. I suspect though that Nicole probably caught a decent landscape shot at sunrise, so she can move on to other parts of her assignment this week: wildlife and macro.
