A couple of weeks ago I went out to Mt Waterman at the butt-crack of dawn in an attempt to photograph the sunrise from the top. We left Palmdale at 4:00am… oof. Didn’t quite make it to the peak by sunrise, but definitely got a lot of good photos. I’m still scanning the ones of the actual sunrise, but here are some B&W shots I took about an hour after sunrise in the slanted light.
Elan + 28-105mm + Kodak BW400CN
Is it me or is there a face in the one at left?
A curiously leaning tree. I like how it came out as a silhouette.
A stump.
Someone had built this contraption in attempt to extend the standing room at the peak, overlooking the valley. I didn’t trust it, but it made a good photo in itself.
B&W is all about interesting exercises in contrast and luminosity.
