Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 If I was going to

If I was going to stand there

I made this image while stranded on the dry lake bed after a heavy rain left the ground impassable for more than five days and my rig sunk in the mud

soft browns and blues holding steady while the sky carried all the intensity

No focus stacking or blending was used

almost like a relic from another time

Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 If I was going toMount Sneffels, Colorado This photograph was made in the afternoon while traveling through the San Juan Mountains between Ouray and Telluride. I wasnt chasing drama or waiting on a narrow window of light. I simply wanted to see how Mount Sneffels would hold up when treated plainly, with a longer lens and a single exposure. As Ive leaned more into traditional approaches, Ive found myself reaching for portrait length and telephoto lenses more often.
