Location
I took this photo in the alpine lakes wilderness area, during a four day backpacking trip. We were scrambling up a ridge, I looked down to see my friends below and the lake where we’d camped last night in the distance.Time
Late morningLighting
Pretty soon the clouds moved in and we spent the rest of the day socked in.Equipment
Canon EOS R. 24-105 lens.Inspiration
There were a lot of great views on this trip because we spent most of our time hiking high in ridgelines. The rugged snowy mountains and blue glacial lakes of the cascades are always inspiring.Editing
Just corrected the white balance and exposure slightly in Lightroom, the light was changing pretty quickly with the fast moving clouds.In my camera bag
When hiking I’m pretty concerned about weight and usually just carry the EOS R, 24-105 lens, spare battery, a polarizer and ND filter.Feedback
It helps to have great scenery and friends with bright clothing to really pop against the landscape.
