The Eastside is truly a special place! Here’s a quick sample of what we see as we head to the airport. Out the window is our old friend, Mono Lake. And yes, I just can’t see to shoot while driving. And just in case you want to get in on the fun, Jeff @adorama has plenty of P7000s in stock and we have a space in our upcoming Eastern Sierra Adv. Enjoy the moment.
We were pushing the clock, had to get up the hwy to the airport and we didn’t know if the night’s snow or hwy construction would cause any delays over the pass but light is light, so we stopped. Armed with just the P7000, I clicked away.
You might be saying, “A point & shoot?” but don’t let the fact that the camera doesn’t cost a thousand dollars that you can’t get great results or, that it isn’t photography. The light was gorgeous, the landscape very inviting and the P7000 did a great job bringing it home. The NRW (Raw) file finished just like any other Raw file with no finishing needed with the top image and Silver Efex Pro used on the bottom image. The P7000 has Picture Control just like the D3 so shooting on Vivid, it was truly a point and shoot affair!
Yeap, home was great, what we saw of it but it was time to get back on a plane and head to ME. Now our drive to and from the airport is three hours. It’s the price of living in paradise. When folks here that they tend to have a hard time imagining such a long drive just to get on a plane. Well, you’ve seen some of the scenery we see coming home, here’s some of what we saw this morning heading to the airport. The P7000 made real simple work of the gorgeous sunrise. I have a bunch more from the P7000 to share with ya today, stay tuned.

That’s simply one bad ass cloud dumping serious snow. And look at that light. Sheer Power!

The clouds, light and scenery were just too much. Jake had to get in on the action so with a daring swerve and a screeching stop, he was in the thick of the action.

What makes a successful B&W successful? That’s a real common question. For me, it’s the ratio and placement of those blacks, whites and all the shades in between. With that in mind, I tend to arrange the elements in the frame so the black and white elements are the main foundation and depth of the photograph. it doesn’t always work out the way I’d like but when it does, it brings a smile to my face.

Nothing escapes a Sierra winter storm, not even Mono Lake.
