New Post at California Nature Photographers Blog – Recent BW Photographs

I just posted a set of recent black and white photographs from the Sierra Nevada and points east (the Mono Lake and June Lakes Loop area) over at the California Nature Photographers blog.

If you haven’t visited that web site yet, I encourage you to take a look and subscribe to the blog’s RSS new feedfeed. A group of us contribute posts to the site, providing a diversity of perspectives on the natural world in California.


G Dan Mitchell is a California photographer and visual opportunist. His book, “California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra” (Heyday Books) is available directly from him.

If you are in Yosemite on Thursday…

… Drop by the Ansel Adams Gallery at 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. – for the First Light Reception. From the announcement at the Gallery web site:

Come enjoy the photography of Charles Cramer, Karl Kroeber, Scot Miller, Mike Osborne, and Keith S. Walklet at the opening reception for the exhibit celebrating their book, First Light.

I had a chance to look at a proof of the book a week ago and it is full of lots of wonderful photographs, along with Sierra Nevada stories from all five photographers.

Workshop on the Business of Outdoor and Nature Photography

This looks interesting: Gary Crabbe and Charlie Borland are presenting a Business of Outdoor and Nature Photography Workshop this November in the Bryce Canyon area. They say that the workshop takes place during the day, leaving photographers time to do photography during the “good light” before and after. Of course, any photographer knows that this means completely packed 18 hour days starting at 3:30 a.m. and concluding when you can no longer keep your eyes open. :-)

Sierra photographs on the way

A few people may be aware of a series of photographs I made at Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park last week, and some may wonder why they are not here and why they instead see photographs of things like urban San Francisco.

Patience. :-)

While I post some material here on the day that you see it – like what I’m writing at this very moment – much of the content has been queued up ahead of time. Since I knew last week that I would be away in Yosemite for four days I had about a week of posts and photographs already in the hopper, so to speak. The first of the Tuolumne photographs will appear here on Thursday if all goes as planned.
