How I Spent My Weekend!

On Friday I went to the small town of Lone Pine in Owens Valley. Lone Pine is the gateway to Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States. The reason I went to Lone Pine was not to climb Mount Whitney, but to photograph Owens Valley. I met up with a like minded group and an instructor for a workshop to improve our photography. So over the next few days I will post some photographs from this workshop.

The photograph above is of Lone Pine Peak on the left and Mount Whitney on the right. Mount Whitney is set a lot further back, so it's perspective makes it look smaller. Mount Whitney is in fact 14,505ft high. This photograph was taken first thing in the morning as the sun rose over the mountain range to the east of the valley. As the sun appeared so the mountain tops lit up as this wonderful orangey red color. And as you can see they have already had a dusting of snow.
