I was at Mono Lake recently and stayed until after twilight so I could try some light painting. I used a small spot light to “light paint” the Ghost Ship otherwise at this time of night the Ghost Ship would have been very dark.
If you don’t know, Mono Lake is one of the oldest lakes in North America. It’s estimated to be at least 760,000 years old. No fish can live in the alkaline waters of Mono Lake however; the lake does support millions of brine shrimp and migratory birds.
The Ghost Ship is actually a tufa formation which is a limestone that forms in alkaline lakes. I think Mono Lake is a pretty interesting place to visit. It kind of feels like you're on a different planet.
