I'm not one for crowded spaces. I like to get away from the chaos, so my wife and I accompanied by our two dogs, Choco & Bella, hiked up the hill behind our house to get a different perspective of the Fourth of July festivities here in beautiful South Lake Tahoe, California. I used a tripod to stabilize the camera, set the mode to bulb, used a cable release to trigger the camera and just let it expose everything. Camera settings: f/5.6 @ 408 seconds, roughly 7 minutes, ISO 100. Canon EOS 5D Mark II, 15mm Fisheye.
Mount Tallac is the prominent mountain on the left, and to give perspective, Mt. Tallac sits at 9700' elevation. The moon was nearly full and accounts for the amount of available light. The treeline shadow on the bottom third of the photo was caused by the moonlight being blocked from the mountain we were on.
This is the lower fall of the Hawley grade trail. Not nearly as big as the one that is about a mile, mile and a half up the same trail but very nice still. The trail will bring you to the opposite side from which this was shot. Bella, my dog, Kyle Schwartz and myself made the effort to get to the other side by crossing the rapids over a wet and sketchy tree that had fallen across the river. Kyle fell in at the end knee deep, he's lucky though, cause if he had fallen off the tree, he'd be gone now and this would be sad. This photo is the same one that is in my location album on Facebook, so some of you have seen it, but I wanted you to see it better. Click on the photo for a bigger size.
Come to the Divided Sky in Meyers, South Lake Tahoe, at 8pm sharp, June 23rd, to check out Travis Parker's latest project, "Environmentally Challenged". He'll be there. If you can't make it, check it out on Fuel TV.
