This was one of the first photos I captured this morning. The surface of the lake was a little more calm than yesterday, so we had better reflections of the sunrise light on the clouds.
Exposure and processing details:
Canon 5D Mark III with 16-35mm lens
Cokin #121 3-stop graduated neutral density filter
single exposure of 5 seconds, f/16 at ISO 200
Post-processed in +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2
I adjusted exposure, brightness, whites and shadows, avoiding other adjustments to contrast, clarity, vibrance, saturation (all left at 0).
White balance was set to 7529
"Camera Standard" color calibration was used

Wow! So fantastic!!

MOLTO BELLO
+Jeff Sullivan You might get some weather up your way tonight. Take some shots of the lake if it snows.
Magnifique
Fingers crossed +Doug Thompson!
We need much more precipitation, and it'd be nice if Winter actually arrived some time soon to put a dent in the drought in NV and CA.
Stunning. Thanks +Jeff Sullivan. We are finally getting a tiny bit of rain.
I think I see some rain falling about 5-10 miles south on the back side of the Sierra Nevada +Donna McClure. I should check the Mono Lake webcams in case I might be able to run down to Bodie to catch a blizzard arriving there.
Good luck!
