I am a repeat visitor to Alabama Hills' location in the eastern Sierras and almost always relied on my wide lenses to make images there. This time while we visited, I had my 70-200 on my camera, and on a whim, I decided to keep it on my camera. I thought it would be an interesting experience. Also, we were too lazy to wake up early for sunrise, and I didn’t have many hopes for a good image with the cloudy featureless sky. However, it turned out to be the best decision of the day. With the telephoto lens on, I found a lot of compositions where I could isolate rock formation against the steel gray of the Massie Sierra Nevada Mountains. I managed some incredible images, but this one is my favorite from the session.
