CYCLOPS OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIP - July 31 - August 1, 2024

On Wednesday, July 31, 2024, all LPA members are invited for a one night/next morning trip to the Alabama Hills to do some night photography at the Cyclops Arch formation. We will meet up at 6:00 p.m. on July 31st for dinner at Mt. Whitney Restaurant. After dinner we will carpool up to the Cyclops area before sunset (Approx 8:00) for a short hike to the rock formations. It will still be pretty warm out.

We will be shooting from about 9:00 p.m. to about 1 am that evening. Bring a hat, sunscreen, red (or very dim) flashlight, plenty of water and snacks, and your tripod and remote release. We will capture some great night time photography. If you remember, when we went last year, the arch was part of a large workshop on the night we

visited, so we are hoping to be the only ones there this time!

There is good lodging at the Dow Villa Hotel in Lone Pine if you want to spend the night. We will then get up the next day and have breakfast (Alabama Hills Cafe & Bakery) around 9:00 a.m., after which we will head up to Whitney Portal for some waterfall photography and cooler temperatures. If you miss breakfast, you can always meet us up there from 10:30 to 11:30 for some forest waterfall shots.

If you have any questions about the trip, call Kathy or Steve (see membership directory for #)
