Mono Lake, California

Late afternoon view of Mono lake in California from the visitor center. This lake is famous for the tufa formations, which everyone photographs. I did too, but I thought I would start with a bird's eye view and then go down to the tufa formations.

This is a very peaceful lake. It is more salty than the ocean and there are no boats or swimmers.

The shot:
- ISO 100, 135mm, f18, 1/5sec on tripod.

Processing:
- Nik Color Efex filters: Pro Contrast, Foliage, Tonal Contrast, Darken/Lighten Center.
- Photoshop smart sharpen.
- Photoshop: create layer copy, apply lens blur and blend in at 20% except on the rocks and edge of shore.
