I rose at 4AM this morning to meet the other 7 students in the workshop at 5:15AM for the drive out to Owens Valley to greet the Sunrise.
This location required a bit of hike out on this wet, soggy, marshland.
Just a bit to the right of me the Owens River makes a turn where all of my companions were shooting. I liked this Deerweed plant, and little clump of Common Rush to the right, and the layer of Tule Grass behind the river, and then the majestic Mountain range behind those, so I camped here to wait for the sunrise.
Oh! What a sunrise! The Alpen Glow was gorgeous. The best of the week-end!

PP- Fill slider to open up the shadows in the Tule Grass, vibrance, clarity, levels, a bit of dodging on the mountain caps, and in the water, unsharp mask, and resized.
