Autumn Path, Eastern Sierra

I loved this aspen-carpeted dirt path in the Eastern Sierra.

Happy Autumn!

Mono Lake


Mono Lake, originally uploaded by Della Huff Photography.

This image turned out much differently than the one I had in mind. Yesterday there was a full moon rise. At least, I think there might have been. It was so cloudy and rainy in California that I doubt many people actually saw it! I had been planning to photograph the moon over Mono Lake for months and even though the weather report didn't look promising, I stubbornly headed over the Sierra anyway. It snowed as we headed over Sonora Pass, and although it wasn't raining in the Mono Basin, the clouds were thick and stormy. The fall colors were absolutely gorgeous, though! I have a few images of the aspens to share soon. I also enjoyed checking out Bodie for the first time.

Long story somewhat short, I gave up on the moonrise and settled for a few ND110 long exposures of the lake during the afternoon, then headed to Lee Vining to watch the Giants game. The only restaurant open in town during the winter had a local watching the Tennessee college football game (!), so I ended up watching the game at the Mobil station at the beginning of the Tioga Pass (which had just closed in the afternoon). It was a surreal experience, especially since there were more Phillies, Dodgers, and Braves fans than Giants fans in the place! What state are we in again?? But the Giants won, much celebration was had, and then a long drive back over the Sierra (the looooong way, nearly up to Tahoe and back down 50).

Sausalito Blues II

I had really high hopes for the fog at the Golden Gate Bridge this morning, but was sorely disappointed. So much for getting up at 5am! I headed down the hill to Sausalito for a consolation shot. This is a slightly later view than Sausalito Blues I.

Kylie + Tim

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing Kylie and Tim for their engagement! We had a great time exploring some of San Francisco's most beautiful spots on a warm summery afternoon. Congratulations you two, and I hope you have a wonderful wedding next summer in Pittsburgh!

This shot was my consolation prize. It's been shot to death, but I hadn't been there yet. I'm looking forward to shooting this again when there's an actual sunrise!
