Here is a wonderful sunrise photo looking at the Fish Creek Mountains this last weekend. It is a stitched panorama of 5 images at 500mm focal length. Click to view/download the original full size image.
A few minutes later the sun will rise showing it's size and intensity, the beginning of a 105+ degree day
On the opposite side of the sunrise is the sunset, here is the last breath of daylight on Carrizo Mountain, it was the last peak of the day with sunlight before the valley went dark
Lets not forget the moon....
Getting my pack ready I saw my reflection in the truck rear window...maybe the heat was getting to me
All my gear and camera crap strapped on
I brought it all this trip, extension tubes, flash, everything. I wanted to try some macro shots of the small critters that always seem to be with us in the desert
Small grasshopper, the kind that is the same color as the alluvial sand
Harvester Ant
No idea what this guy is. He was on my red shirt in the morning, look at the fibers of my shirt, he was small! He even has the compound eyes found on many insects.
This little guy decided to crawl up under my sleeping bag during the night to get warm but I think I crushed him. The blue is my closed cell foam pad, macro small...
Pesky flies looking for water
Very small moth feeding on some fresh scat
On my way back home I spotted the wind turbine with the broken blade. Because of this all the turbines are shut down and producing no energy. You figure it out, San Onofre closes and they claim we will have enough power with the Sunrise Powerlink and the new wind energy turbines.
Total Mylar Balloons this trip - 5 (sorry no photos)
