Having not been to a place before there are a certain amount of ways to approach the scene.\u00a0 Depending on the time one has it could be just a “grip it and rip it” trip.\u00a0 Whatever the light\/clouds\/conditions have that’s what we get.\u00a0 However, with a few days to explore I drove around a fair amount just looking.\u00a0 Mentally (and sometimes physically) categorizing locations under what conditions I wanted and want time of day.
\nThis particular image was captured on my 3rd day along the Eastern Sierra.\u00a0 Having found this spot on my first day out I knew it had potential. The early morning light would first illuminate the mountain sides before finally reaching over the ridge and shining in to the foreground.\u00a0 This of course gives lots of options.\u00a0 If mother nature wanted to cooperate :p
\nSleeping in my car the night before (bear encounter story for another time), I awoke to be overjoyed with the fact that there were clouds!\u00a0 Not something that one can always count on in that part of the world.\u00a0 I quickly made my way down to the scouted location, temperature around 30F and proceeded to spend 4 hours watching the light manipulate.\u00a0 I even went as far as grabbing my camping stove to cook breakfast while sitting there and waiting for the sun.
\nAs the sun made it’s way higher in to the sky, the clouds shifted a bit and the valley floor was finally illuminated.\u00a0 Added with the unique sky I knew after I captured this photo it was time to move on \ud83d\ude42
