Thanks to everyone who has liked and commented on this photograph. I may have the opportunity to sell it (less the signature) at a local store. Wish me luck!

Behind The Lens

Location

The Maroon Bells in beautiful Aspen Colorado. A pair of "14ers" nestled between two sweeping pine and aspen tree ridges. At the base is a alpine lake that most often mirrors the panoramic landscape.

Time

The morning shots are typically what everyone goes after. However sunsets are just as beautiful as the sky becomes on fire with the sunset.

Lighting

Mother natures SUN

Equipment

Nikon D500 18-35 Sigma Art Tripod Merged HDR shot

Inspiration

I want my own comparable "Peter Lik" shot of this. ;-)

Editing

Brighten up the pine trees and used LR graduated filter

In my camera bag

I keep two bodies, D7200 and D500. Sigma Lens 18-35 and typically a telephoto (70-200 or 150-600). Extra batteries, memory cards, remote.

Feedback

Get there EARLY and plan to stay LATE. Go back LATE NIGHT (after 10pm) to get a glimpse of the Milyway
