I have updated my post on Sharpness and Aperture Selection on Full-Frame DSLRs to include a list of my conclusions.
Dawn, Mono Lake Tufa Towers and Sierra Crest

Dawn, Mono Lake Tufa and Sierra Crest. Mono Lake, California. July 23, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
Photographed on an early morning July trip to Mono Lake during the summer of 2007. The location is at “South Tufa,” more or less the class spot from which to photograph Mono Lake in the early morning light, which on this day was made more interesting by the passing clouds above the very still water of the lake.

And We Have Our First Forum Post
Congratulations to rileys for offering The First Post in the forum. :-)
The question is about shooting locations at Point Reyes National Seashore. I’ll probably offer something a bit later this afternoon, though my experience there is somewhat limited. Anyone what to help rileys out?
