In Bloom

It seems that everywhere we went this year, the flowers were putting on a show. These beautiful red ones were growing in soft light near Mono Lake in California. We were scouting the area so we'd be ready to shoot at sunset. I love our scouting trips - even though we aren't usually shooting at that time. We try to explore as much of a location as we can when the light is poor, so we'll be ready when the light is right. We drive down dirt roads or climb steep trails - just to see what we can find. Sometimes it's a grand vista - and sometimes it's a couple of pretty flowers. But there's always something. I love my job. :)
