Gone to See America August 2010 Road Trip. Day 6: Eastern Sierra Photography Workshop with Michael Mariant. Bodie State Historic Park.

Our third stop on the second day of the Eastern Sierra Photo Workshop at Bodie State Historic park. This is a gold mining ghost town maintained by California in a state of arrested development or decline. There are lots, and lots of folks that visit to photograph the many buildings and artifacts in the park, so you often have to wait to get images free of tourists or other photographers. After a while, I didn’t mind including people in the images to give prospective. This is part three of three sets of images from Bodie.

Female Grouse Hiding in the Grass.  Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 24 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 800, 24 mm, f/16, 1/50 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC. It was really hard getting close to the bird with a wide lens… Note that I initially thought this was a Ruffed Grouse, but after reviewing location maps, think it is a Sooty Grouse. Thoughts???
