I'm planning a trip to the Bishop area, as soon as a box of Velvia50 arrives from Japan in a few days. I'm also taking a box of Ektar100 and B&W, all in 4x5. 35 years ago I lived in Bishop for a few years and had the good fortune of working for the USFS as a truck driver, helping to repair campgrounds and parking lots and such. That made me able to drive around the various areas and check out the scenery. Based on that foggy memory of the Sierras, I'm thinking of looking up Bishop Creek to North Lake, South Lake and Sabrina for my fall colors. Rock Creek is another area I'm going to. Ansel seemed to like the Buttermilks quite a bit.
I'm trying to think of places for the sunrise shots and the sunset shots. There should be enough fall color for everyone for a few more weeks, based on the California Fall Color websites, although I might have to search around if I wait too much longer. I may stop for the Bristlecones and Alabama Hills on the way back, but color is my main objective on this trip.
I could really use some suggestions for locations that take advantage of the Happy Hours, (I mean Golden Hours), since this is my first trip there in decades.
If any of you happen to spot an old guy with a Crown Graphic up there, that might be me. Thanks in advance for your help.
Jerry.
