Banner's Omen by TedGore



***Workshop Announcement*** I am happy to announce another workshop I will be conducting along side an extremely talented photographer, and good friend Alex Noriega. The workshop will be held in the Eastern Sierra where you will have access to some of the most diverse landscape in the world. We are announcing this pretty short notice, as it will be held in early March, so sign up soon! You can find all the information on this page: Eastern Sierra Workshop This image is from Thousand Island lakes in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Banner peak rises up in the distance. Several years ago I hiked the John Muir Trail from Yosemite Valley to Mt. Whitney, and Banner peak, this lake, and the Minarets were some of my favorite scenery I saw during the trek. I wasn't much of a photographer then, so I've been wanting to return and give this place some proper time with the camera. I was able to do that last september with Erin Babnik and Jeff Lewis. We spent several days in the back country, lake hopping, all while battling the seasons first snow. I was particularly drawn to this peculiar arrangement of rocks on the lakes shores. It's not often that you find geometric shapes in nature, but the low lake levels from California's drought has revealed interesting lines around very straight cut rocks, left behind from better times. I loved how the lines looked, straight and angular, and even more so that the entire scene just seemed to all fit together. Couple that with some great light from an encroaching storm, and I've got something I'm pretty happy and interested in. Also a good time to point out that California, and much of the west is in a severe drought. These lines on the rocks are a testament to that. As cool as they look... it's a bad sign. Even though Cali's been getting hammered with rain recently, it's a drop in the bucket of a big problem. via 500px http://ift.tt/1zAWLBF
