On the last afternoon of the Eastern Sierra Workshop we were on the way up to Rock Creek Lake when we saw all this wonderful color. Unfortunately the leader didn’t stop to pull over, and once at the Lake we discovered there wasn’t very much color around the lake itself. Making the decision to head back down the road we were disappointed to find we had lost the light.
My friends and I vowed to come back on our own after our sunrise shoot and breakfast the following morning. One of my friends not feeling well decided to go home after breakfast so only myself and one other friend went back to Rock Creek Road.

This was taken from on top a boulder off the roadside. I think that’s Mammoth Mountain all covered in snow in the background but I’m not sure. I can’t locate a decent map of this area.

PP- Vibrancy, clarity, recovery, levels, and a tiny crop off the top then resized, small boost of USM.
