Autumn in the Alabama Hills
Bishop, California with Mount Whitney in the background
Photographers love dusk and dawn. I do as well, but that doesn’t mean midday should be ignored. We got to this spot after lunch and were mostly enjoying hiking and the beauty of the area. When the wispy clouds started to develop, things got serious. I started looking for a view which would show off the distinctive boulders while allowing me to keep the Sierra’s visible. Some may recognize Mt. Whitney in the background.
Over the several days of the trip, this turned out to be the only image I put together.
During the remaining time of the trip, every time I was frustrated things weren’t working out, I would remember this moment and think, “I already have a winner, just enjoy the moment!”
