Fall 2011 (Mostly Eastern Sierra, California)

I had a few question about my Mono Lake sunset photo a few posts back.  Here's the album of photos I shot back then, in Fall 2011.  This first photo is a sunset reflecting in a pool of water.  It was like a Crayola box full of blues, pinks purples and oranges had exploded.  Photos 2, 3, and 4 are different compositions and images from that same sunset at Mono Lake I posted earlier.  

I was asked on one of the colorful Mono Lake sunset shots whether I had adjusted the saturation.  I double checked, and all of the settings which would directly affect color were set to zero, except of course white balance. It was simply one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever experienced. I wrote a blog post recently which touches upon the myths of "perfect exposure" and accurate color in photography:

Most of the other photos in this album were also shot in the Eastern Sierra region within a couple hours drive of my house (with the exception of a trip I took to San Francisco to catch the full moon set).  I shoot a lot of new work, so ones of these I've posted before would have been mainly back over 18 months ago when Google+ was still in beta, so most of my current contacts haven't seen them.  Enjoy!
