The higher elevations of the Eastern Sierras are a go-to place for Fall color. The small towns of Lone Pine, Bishop and Lee Vining were filled with photographers (and those who like to fish). After the spectacular light of the morning shoots, we headed into the canyons. The leaves were just starting to turn, so we were able to catch a mixture of green, yellow and orange. During our first shoot in Bishop Canyon, the wind was blowing so much that I had to give up on photographing individual leaves. For this shot, I slowed the shutter speed as much as possible (with the help of a neutral density filter), and let the wind blur the yellow. This simple photo is one of my favorites from the trip.
The last shoot of the workshop was in Lundy Canyon and I was determined to get the leaf close-up that had eluded me for four days. This is somewhat different than I had envisioned, but I loved the mix of colors and the rain drops were a bonus.

Our next destination was Lee Vining, a small town 60 miles north of Bishop. I was very tired and looking forward to some much needed down time before the sunset shoot at Mono Lake, but I followed Don Smith (the second professional leader of the workshop) on a detour into Rock Creek Canyon. I promised myself that I would stop shooting at 2:00, no matter how beautiful the scenery. When the clouds broke up a bit and blue sky showed through it was tough to leave, but I was satisfied with the shots I collected.
