Sunrise at Convict Lake

Still going through my photos from my Friday/Saturday fall color trip to the eastern Sierra. Here's my favorite two pictures from Saturday morning and one picture of my and my camp spot before I packed up.

That bad I guess...

I quite like #1. The colors in the first shot make the second shot look downright blah in comparison.

I also love the soft light in #1! Definitely the keeper of the two. I also enjoyed the picture of your campsite. It makes me want to get out and camp!

Great camping spot!

It is unusual for me to like 2 images shot of the same scene.
I do like both for the differences the lighting produced on each.
The soft lighting one I like more, but I like the second one for the detail that can be seen in the mountian.

They're not bad, Mike,... you just caught everyone on a day when there was 'work' to do. If you want a little more comfort than the tent next year, I have a spare bedroom in our condo at Mammoth which makes photography much more pleasant.

I almost slept in the car, but I figured I could at least lay down on the ground (with air mattress).

Thanks for looking!

HI Mike,

From observation, there comes a time when a photographers ability (of just a lucky image!) gets few comments as it is at a level that is above that of the available audience. The audience just doesn't know how to comment on them, enjoys the post and moves on.

Your images above are some of the best and most natural I have seen across the two pages of the board I have seen tonight.

#1 is my favourite. Might be nice to see about half the water cropped off the bottom. Would have loved to have spent a night here myself.

Thank you for the compliment Wayne! I thought including the rocks would help, but maybe not. Other people (different forums) mentioned cropping it too. I do have another version, minus the rocks.
