Eastern Sierra October 2015
In October, 2015, the Lincoln Hills Photography Club had a "Great Photographic Adventure" starting in Yosemite, and continuing to many locations on the east side of the Sierras near Highway 395. The Field Trip was organized using a "menu" system, which enabled participants to select photographic opportunities each day. Many members contributed to the planning of this event.
The following lists some locations we visited.
