The Sierra Wave passing over the Alabama Hills. The Sierra Nevada Escarpment can be seen in the back left. The photo was taken in Spring and you can see some patches of yellow wildflowers in the foreground. This is an HDR created from 5 exposures set 1 stop apart. This was exhibited at the 2008 Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, Ca.

We were fishing and I had my camera set up on a tripod as the sun went down. I took this photo maybe 10-15 minutes before dusk. The sun was at the perfect angle to cast some alpenglow on the Sierras in the background. I thought the kayaker was a nice touch too.

The Minarets are the jagged peaks in the mountain range near the center. There are 17 of them and the tallest is Clyde Minaret at 12,281 ft. They are part of the Ritter Range which is the oldest range of mountains in the Sierra Nevadas. They were formed by millions of years of glacial carving, winds, ice, and earthquakes.

I found this playa on a recent trip up to Sierra Nevada and i knew I would be back. This dry lakebed backs up against a cinder cone and in the far background the Sierras can be seen. It can be found near Fossil Falls in the Mojave Desert.

One of my favorite spots in the Sierra Nevada, Convict Lake is tucked into a beautiful canyon. At dusk the wind can pick up pretty good as it rushes over the mountains and through the canyon. The clouds literally change from minute to minute. The lighting is constantly changing as the sun drops behind the mountains as well. I tried to capture it the best I could.
-
It was not long before dawn and there was an eerie silence around the lake. The lighting was changing by the minute and every photo had different qualities. I ended up choosing this one over the others to process because I really liked the reflection I got in it.

I set my alarm for 4:30 AM but it didn’t go off for some reason and I ended up waking up at 5:20… So I rushed out of my campsite in Rock Creek Canyon and drove like a madman up Highway 395 to get to Convict Lake before sunrise. I made it to one of my favorite spots just as the fishermen were starting to show up. I took some photos before sunrise and got ready for the light show…

This photo was taken a little after dawn at Convict Lake in Sierra Nevada. The alpenglow was amazing and lasted for quite some time. Convict Lake is situated on the eastern side of the range which is made up of steep cliffs and very scenic vistas. Since it faces east you have to get up for the sunrise if you want to see the alpenglow. Sunset is beautiful as well but nothing compares to the beautiful reds and oranges reflecting off the stark granite.

Tufa is a build up of calcium that forms around underwater springs over long periods of time. They are now exposed because the water level at Mono Lake is low. What you are seeing is actually exposed lakebed that was underwater 100 years ago. How did it get so low? Because Los Angeles pumps its water from the streams that feed this lake. Then they send the water through an aquaduct for hundreds of miles until it gets to LA. They can steal all of this water because long ago they bought all the land from under the ranchers here for its water rights. Seems wrong to me that a city can buy up all this land so far away from its city boundaries and that they can essentially put the area into a never-ending drought. This is an HDR composed of 5 exposures taken 1 stop apart.

The weather was really beautiful and ominous on that day. Everytime the sun would peek out I would drop everything and set up my tripod. This is Little Lakes Valley, Eastern Sierra, Ca and I’m still amazed that I live so close to someting so beautiful. This trail eventually ascends Morgan Pass and up into the alpine High Sierras. You can see them in the far background. Created from 2 exposures blended together.

This was taken in Little Lakes Valley, Eastern Sierras, Ca. I have submitted a few different photos from this hike and the lighting was just so intimate that I may just remember that day forever. This is the one furthest down the trail and closest to the mountains in the background. There are many meadows along the trail and they are usually very lush but by summer’s end they start to dry out like this. I thought it made for some nice contrast. You can see a little bit of the trail on the right leading into the pines.
-
This photo was taken in Bishop Creek Canyon between Aspendell and Lake Sabrina. These stark granite cliffs really stood out. i thought a high contrast black and white worked well for the scene. i used a polarizer to get the dark sky and then applied a yellow filter with photoshop.

When I visit the Alabama Hills I often set myself up facing the Sierra Nevada mountains since they create a nice background. I rarely shoot facing the other side of Owens Valley. Well, here’s that view. You can spot Heart Arch if you recognize it.
-
This is a subpeak of Mount Morgan I guess, it’s unnamed. I was driving down a dirt road that leads into the canyon and the early morning shadows on this mountain just drew me in. I got out and took quite a few photos trying to capture it best. I think B&W works well with such a contrasty scene.
-
This is a photo I have been holding onto for a long time waiting to process. I finally decided how I wanted it to look so here it is! This is Lake George, in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, Eastern Sierras, Ca. Fly fisherman often fish off of this shelf. I was just starting a hike that passes the lake and this scene caught my eye. The mountain in the background doesn’t have an official name but I have heard it called Red Mountain before. There was a lot of mining activity there in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Box Lake can be found in Eastern Sierra Nevada, California. It is in an area known as Little Lakes Valley. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. This is an HDR image.

This is the HDR version of this photograph. The weather was really beautiful and ominous that day. Everytime the sun would peek out I would drop everything and set up my tripod. This is Little Lakes Valley and I’m still amazed that I live so close to something so beautiful. This trail eventually ascends Morgan Pass and up into the alpine High Sierras. You can see them in the far background.

This is the HDR version of this photo. Taken near the Eastern Sierra Nevada town of Independence, Ca. The road leads to the Mount Whitney Fish Hatchery which is a beautiful place. In the background you can see some of the Alabama Hills which I have featured in other photographs. We were driving to the hatchery when these flowers caught my attention. I forget what they are called at the moment. They were really prickly though. Since this was taken there was a massive mudslide that killed all the fish in the hatchery, destroyed houses and flooded this road with debris and tons of mud. It looked like quite a project to clean up the mess.

In early spring, as the snow melts, the meadows of the Eastern Sierras get completely flooded. This is one of many fisherman’s trails which lead across the meadow to the creek flowing into Silver Lake. It was very peaceful there and I ended up sitting against a nearby Aspen to enjoy the view a little more.

This is Lake George, located in the Eastern Sierras of California. Crystal crag looms over the lake along the Mammoth Crest. It’s amazing to me that the ice doesn’t break up until this late in Spring.

You know, California’s Gold Rush of 1849, well they say only 20% of the Gold in California was actually harvested… thats 80% of the Gold still out there!!! / Hmmm… Mt. Whitney, Inyo National Forest, Inyo County, California [KGJ]
