Captured July of 2015, during one of the best summer storm systems to roll over the Sierra Nevada that I have been able to witness. What you see here was captured on the sloping portion of a steep cliff right off the road. Dare not venture out on the saturated slope too far at all, it would surely be death if one slipped and fell. The cool thing about this storm was, nobody else was up there with a camera, or out in the storm, anywhere! It was wet, it was drizzling rain the whole time, so towels and lens cloths were a must have, along with some very technical rain gear for the camera; a shower cap and a Ziploc bag. This tree seemed to be at one with the storm, a part of it, or conducting it, with it’s branch arms reaching out to the side, and head of branches lowered in the storms direction. This is a single handheld exposure… © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com
Captured in the Sierra Nevada in July of 2015. This is a single hand held exposure, captured from the side of the road. We had a series of storms during the spring and summer of 2015 that rolled over the Sierra Nevada bringing a LOT of rain, while creating moody atmosphere, and very dramatic skies. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com
Captured in April of 2016. Coral like tufa formations stand the test of time in haunting stillness on a shoreline of ancient Lake Lahontan. This is an exposure blend… This image is NOT for sale in ANY medium. © MIKE CLASEN PHOTOGRAPHY www.mikeclasenphotography.com
