North Lake Revisited

North Lake Morning Light, Inyo National Forest, California

If you were following my blog last year then you might remember my unpleasant experience at North Lake. I opted to skip sunrise at North Lake with the photographers I was traveling with in favor of sunrise at the Owens River. When I met up the guys that morning they told me that a crowd of 20+ photographers gathering around the shoreline hoping to get some sunrise light then quickly dispersed. I’m sure they got some fantastic alpenglow on the peaks but upon hearing that story I was glad that I wasn’t there at sunrise. If you haven’t been to North Lake, this shoreline is quite narrow and can’t really accommodate that many people in such a tight area. I consider myself to be a nice guy most of the time but I don’t play that tripod jockeying game anymore. If you want a certain spot, get there before the next guy does otherwise you have no one to blame but yourself.

    Richard,

    Great image. Nothing more frustrating than dealing with obnoxious photographers when your trying to work.
