Mono Lake / Eastern Sierra

On my way to Death Valley I stopped one night at Mono Lake. Here are a couple shot at dawn, using the the Lee big stopper to slow the exposure. 

The filter lets through 1/1000 of the light allowing for the ten second exposures I used here. It also gives a blue cast, most of which can be removed in post if you shoot raw. I left some of it in though as I like the look.

This one was shot on the route to DV. It's from where the 136 meets the 395. That's Mount Whitney beyond the trees.

Three more from my Death Valley trip. First, Badwater Basin:

The Mesquite Sand Dunes just before sunset:

 Zabrinski Point at sunrise. This is known as "The Manifold" for obvious reasons:
