I just got back from two weeks in the eastern Sierra and Death Valley. It was definitely one of my favorite trips to date, not the most productive ever, but it was absoutley beautiful area to explore. I found this composition at Mono Lake on the second night of my trip and was determined to shoot it. It wasn’t until the third night that I was able to get the right combination of sky and lack of other photographers in the frame to pull it off. 5 shots for the focus blend, but I was able to use a single exposure thanks to the incredible dynamic range of the D800. I used some new processing techniques to achieve my vision and I have to say I am pretty happy with how it came out. Which is rare usually I feel like I kind of blow it when it comes to processing. Anyway thanks for stopping by and putting up with my yammering and please view this on BLACK!
