We’re back from the Sierra Nevada, and I have some new photographs to share. I was actually on the east side of the range twice over the past couple of weeks, mostly chasing autumn aspen color but also photographing other seasonal subjects. October if probably my favorite time in the range, and there was a lot to see, including this impressive sunrise cloud show along the crest near Bishop.
On the most recent visit we stayed in Bishop for a couple of nights. The first-day plan was to arise early and then head up into the mountains to photograph aspen color. But part way up, in the first pre-dawn light, it looked to me like there might be some sunrise drama along the crest — so we changed plans and headed out into the high desert region below the crest and found a good location to photograph early light, clouds and fog, and the peaks of the Sierra crest.
