Extreme Sierras

Marc Muench

I had a great time in the mountains with some wonderful people:barb



I will be adding many more images to this thread in the near future, as I hope others do as well.

This trip was somewhat of a reunion for me, as I got to spend a week in the mountains with my father. I have many memories of him dragging me over high passes through deep valleys and across rushing rivers, all in the hopes of finding that unique place where the elements of an exciting landscape image come together. What amazes me is how my attitude has changed from then till now. Now days I can hardly wait to get back in the mountains, cross the rushing streams and climb the highest mountains. I believe all those years of agony conditioned me to enjoy one of the most unique locations on the planet.
I would like to thank everyone who attended for being enduring sports and keeping any whining down to a minimum :wink I know, I know, the food was terrible and the company horribly smelly :rolleyes but you all sucked it up and participated in your own unique spontaneous ways adding flavor to the experience. As in every photography workshop, I learned from you as well not only about your various techniques but from your character and years of wisdom, Mahalo

Like I mentioned more photos to come, from me and hopefully from you.

Sepia?!

We had a BEAUTIFUL rainbow that day you took the shot and all you could come up with is sepia for the "old west" look?

Fantastic workshop... thanks to you all for the scouting and the great setup. It was rough with the food, but thankfully I survived. And I got some shots I'm happy with as well.

schmoo

Looking forward to seeing your shots, Marc. I've been funneling all of the threads from the participants so far in the main workshop post, and I hope I haven't missed any yet.

What a great group shot!

Looks like that pot o' gold was really close. Which means it's paying the way for participants in the next workshop, right?

CatOne

In that last pic, you noted it's after coffee, are those people posing or racing each other over the hill to get to the, um, loo first?
