South Lake
We saw North Lake to start of the fall color in the Sierra, but there's also a South Lake. So after my visit to Lake Sabrina, I headed back down the canyon to the turn off on to the road that heads to South Lake. This route is a bit less traveled than the road up to Lake Sabrina, mainly used by hikers that use the trailhead at South Lake to head to Bishop Pass. About 50 years ago, I was one of those hikers that started off at South Lake and headed up to the lakes above it. After taking a few shots in the lake bed, I hiked up the trail a bit to see some of the color along the trail. One of my favorite shots was taken from the edge of the parking lot of the road heading back down the canyon to the main highway. I wish I'd included more of the sky in the shot, but I'm quite happy with it. There is also a waterfall, Mist Falls, on the road to South Lake and I stopped to get some shots of the falls. The majority of these shots(3, 4, 5, 7, and 8) I've used software(Boris F/X Optics) to emulate cinematic film stock(in most cases, I used Eastman Daylight film emulation), I really liked the color it brought to the shots.
