thanks for the comments cls and Pat. To be honest, amazing places make amazing photographs, so getting to a place like Mossbrae will boost the keeper rate for sure. Nearby is Burney Falls which is another fantastic place for waterfalls. Google or Flickr search that one and you can bag both places in the same day. I also shot sunset the same day at Lassen Volcanic National Park, then ended up shooting lightning over the Sundial Bridge in Redding, CA. I think it was my most fruitful 18 hour day of shooting with my photobuddy nerds. Happy shooting everyone. I'm off to try to see if i can get a photo of the comet that Kayaker has been mentioning.
