Mt. Whitney at sunup from Lone Pine, CA in October 2014. Mt. Whitney is the tallest peak in the   contiguous US and in this image, is the tallest peak on the distant horizon on the right. This was the start of a fairly long day hiking the Mt.Whitney trail. You gotta love October light!

The Mobius Arch off Movie Road in the Alabama Hills just outside of Lone Pine, CA late afternoon in October, 2014. Photographer's note: one of the things you'll discover in post production editing is that when you include large areas of sky and you are shooting back lit scenes, the importance of keeping your sensors clean becomes clear! Also, never, ever use canned air when cleaning them.
