Marina Fire by Mono Lake I also produced a time-lapse video of the Marina Fire that covers roughly Friday 10:30 pm to Saturday morning 2 am: https://youtu.be/jx7okQkWzwo The California highway Patrol is conducting periodic escorts of traffic through the fire area on Highway 395, but wait times can be long. Consider the detour through Hawthorne, Nevada, and start it from Bishop if possible. #marinafire   #monolake   #easternsierra   #california   #wildfire

Milky Way Photography Season Has Arrived! We're starting to get the Milky Way rising at reasonable evening hours in the Northern Hemisphere, so pick your subjects close to moonless new moon dates! #astrophotography   #easternsierra   #Canon   #california   www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com Originally shared by Jeff Sullivan Departing Clouds in Bodie In the summer, the Eastern Sierra often has afternoon thunderstorms, driven by heat and monsoon moisture. Fortunately once the "engine" for the convection, the heat of the sun, goes away, the clouds tend to break up and/or drift eastward, leaving a stunningly clear view of starry skies. #milkyway   #nightphotography   #photographyworkshops   #500px   http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/ https://500px.com/photo/152681009/departing-clouds-in-bodie-by-jeff-sullivan?utm_medium=googleplus&utm_campaign=nativeshare&utm_content=web&utm_source=500px

Clouds Over Bodie at Dawn It's pretty dry here in the Eastern Sierra, and most of the clouds we get in the summer tend to be from convection currents in the afternoon, clearing as the sun sets and the heat of the day fades.  So it's a rare treat to have a nice sunrise in the summer. We hope to have our 2016 Bodie workshop dates confirmed and announced in early February:  http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/bodie-night-photography-workshops/ #photographyworkshops   #easternsierra   #bodie   #ghosttown

Little Known California Photo Opportunities: Eastern Sierra This is one of the California backroads I explored in 2015.  I'll be speaking to Photographic Society of America (PSA) photo club members on the morning of February 6, 2016 in Costa Mesa.  The presentation will be on "Little Known California Photo Opportunities", mostly covering locations beyond what I was able to fit into my new guidebook "Photographing California Vol. 2 - South".   Here's a PSA website where you can find more details:  http://www.psa-socalchapter.org/home.html   I'm going to try to make it down there early enough to attend their photowalk at the Huntington Beach Pier Friday afternoon/evening Feb. 5 as well. www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com #easternsierra    #landscapephotography #travelphotography #author

Fall Colors Continue Into November We've had a long, gradual fall colors season in the Eastern Sierra this year.  Here are a few photos from the first week of November. http://www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog #easternsierra   #fallcolors   #landscapephotography

Sunrise This Morning Bald eagles arrived at Topaz Lake in the Eastern Sierra this morning. They pass through at this time of year to clean up after calf births on nearby cattle ranches. #easternsierra   #landscapephotography   #naturephotography   www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com

Image Buyers are Using 500px Prime I put about 50 photos into the 500px Prime licensing service when it was released a few months ago, and I didn't give it a second thought. I went back and checked yesterday, and I had $354 in royalties waiting for me.  The average $7 per image won't buy me a new camera, but I do have a new tripod arriving early next week. If I had uploaded a couple of high quality photos per day, the few hundred dollars might have been a few thousand.   If you're a photographer on 500px who has put photos into Prime, I'll put the link to your 500px store in the description for this photo on 500px. www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com #stockphotography   #landscapephotography   #easternsierra
