Fall in the Sierra is one of my favorite times. It has become our yearly trip. There are so many canyons and lakes that are beautiful to see it's hard to see them all every year. We usually take a hike up McGee creek but this year we had less time so we stayed around the Bishop area. Sabrina lake, North and South Lake are some of the prettiest colors. We took a trip up Rock creek but it was pretty crowded and not as many colors. There are several Facebook groups for the area so you an see how the colors are progressing in most places before you go.
I met more that a few people that were trying to duplicate Apple screensavers. Some people were getting very close. You always meet interesting folks taking pictures. A lot of telephoto lenes this year it seems. Chatted with a gentleman that had a lens from 1840 he had converted to fit on his digital camera. The shots he was getting were incredible. Almost looked like film.
Finished up with a trip to Alabama Hills to get a sunrise of Mt Whitney but it was a cloudless morning and didn't get a decent picture but its different everyday so you never know. Actually met a person I had met the day before a hundred miles away there. We were the only 2 people there. He took out his drone and I learned a lot about them I didn't know. I know I want one now!
I took quite a few film pictures for a change just waiting for them now. I seem to be shooting more film lately. I like the process a little more than digital. They both have their good and bad points. As long as I get a good picture I'm happy.
