21 October 2014, Monday top Sandbar before the Dawn, Mono Lake, 7:09 AM. (Nikon D810 HDR mode, Nikon 16-35mm VR at 26mm, f/8 at 1/15 at ISO 100, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2, split-toned print.)
First Light on Mono Lake Tufa, 7:29 AM. (iPhone 6 Plus, f/2.2 hand-held at 1/501 at Auto ISO 32, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2.)
Backlit Tufa during Brilliantly Glorious Sunrise, Mono Lake, 7:40 AM. (Nikon D810 HDR mode, Nikon 16-35mm VR at 30mm, f/11 at 1/80 hand held at ISO 100, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2.) I set Shade white balance to make this look as it should. In person, they only looked pale yellow, not vivid orange.
Revelers at Whoa Nellie Deli, Lee Vining, 9:14 AM. (iPhone 6 Plus panorama, f/2.2 hand-held at 1/120 at Auto ISO 200, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2.) Camera-original © image file.

Church with Big Blue Sky, Bodie, 2:22 PM. (Nikon D810, Nikon 16-35mm VR at 16mm, f/9 at 1/320 at Auto ISO 100, Shade white balance, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2.) I used Shade white balance to make the wood more orange. The Shade white balance setting doesn't alter the blue sky or white clouds much; it just helps the rendition of the wood and dirt.
Weathered Wood, Bodie, California, 2:29 PM. (iPhone 6 Plus, f/2.2 hand-held at 1/3,300 at Auto ISO 32, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2, split-toned print.)
Reflection of Old Cart in Weathered Window, Bodie, California, 3:14:10 PM. (iPhone 6 Plus, f/2.2 for 2π milliseconds at Auto ISO 32, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2, split-toned print. Only the good Lord knows why at exactly 14.159265359 minutes past 3PM the iPhone 6 Plus would make an exposure of 2π (6.28318530718) milliseconds, but it did. Nothing happens by chance, and only an engineer would have recognized 1/159th of a second as 2π milliseconds. Is this a sign?)
Red Wall with Grinding Wheel, Bodie, 3:29 PM. (Nikon D810, Nikon 16-35mm VR at 19mm, f/10 at 1/160 at Auto ISO 100, Shade white balance, Athentech Perfectly Clear v2.)
