A dramatic sunset taken during a lengthy nighttime adventure.
This image required a 12 mile roundtrip hike with nearly 3,000' of gain.
I didn't start the hike till 6 p.m., which meant a fast pace the entire way in order to reach this scenic basin by sunset.
I initially planned to photograph Wetterhorn Peak (14,021') but back towards the
west were these incredible clouds over Coxcomb Peak (13,656').
Sometimes the best image is the one you least expect -
if you aren't in the right place at the right time however, you miss out on these special but ephemeral moments in the mountains.
Following sunset, I hiked out the six miles in the dark, arriving back at the trailhead at 11 p.m.
This image required focus stacking and exposure blending, which made for a difficult shoot and a several hour edit.
Focus stacking was required given I wanted every flower in the scene to be sharp.
At the same time, I had to bracket my exposures to properly expose for the foreground (flowers) and the background (sky).
To complicate things further, it was very windy which made it tricky to get every flower in focus.
Thus, shooting at a quick shutter speed was paramount.
All in all, I had to do all this while capturing this magnificent light which only lasted a minute or two.
It's a beautiful thing when it all comes together into an image like this.
