Mono Lake Fishing Expedition

February 16, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

Mono Lake is about 45 miles north of Bishop. Its a popular spot with nature photographers and I decided to head up there after work to “scout” the area out for future photo shoots. You usually want to shoot pics at Mono Lake either at sunrise or sunset. And I didn’t want to fumble around some unknown path or trail in the darkness, so hence I’d scout it out with some light left in the day.

Leaving Bishop and heading north, US-395 sharply gains about 3,000 feet in altitude over ten miles. You can see Mt. Tom in the distance. Bishop lies about ten miles out, and 3,000 feet below us from this point.

After climbing another 2,000 feet over ten more miles, the landscape transforms remarkably from a dry dusty desert landscape to a winter-wonderland.

But as it turns out, I arrived there with the day’s light fading and getting some excellent light anyway.. and captured those killer shots.
