I spent a couple weekends photographing the annual fall colors of the aspens in the eastern Sierra Nevada. This photograph was made among the trees of the extensive groves near the top of Monitor Pass.
‘Nocturnes’ November Workshop in Death Valley
Death Valley is one of my favorite places to photograph, and from now until the first week of April is the best time to go. The Nocturnes are offering a November Death Valley Workshop, and registration is going on right now. I’ve worked with the Nocturnes before and they (mostly Tim Baskerville, I think) are a great group doing wonderful work to promote night photography and educate night photographers.

I made this photograph on a recent two-week backpack trip through an area near Mt. Whitney. Skyblue Lake sits below Crabtree Pass, a cross-country route we crossed later on this day. I originally imagined this as a color image, but was not happy with the result after the trip. I returned to the photo recently and after working on it more have decided that I like it as a black and white photograph.
