We spent 4 days at the end of the road in Denali only to have bad weather the entire time. It took us an extra day to get out as a snowstorm, heavy fog and a landslide struck. When we were finally able to leave the park we stopped in Talkeetna. The skies parted and Mt. Denali appeared. Yeah!

Behind The Lens

Location

In the town of Talkeetna, Alaska

Time

Late morning.

Lighting

We had spent a few days at a lodge at the end of the road in Denali Park. The weather was horrible to say the least. Between snow, fog and rain we saw next to nothing. We left the park and stopped in Talkeetna. The clouds finally parted and the sun shown on Mt. Denali. It didn't matter what lighting there was at that point. I picked up my camera and took the shot!

Equipment

Nikon D750, D7000, 24-300 mm everyday lens, 105 mm macro lens, 16-35 mm wide angle lens & 80-400 mm long lens.

Inspiration

The clouds finally parting for a view of the mountain. That was inspiration enough.

Editing

Cropping and adjustment for exposure and contrast.

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, D7000, 24-300 mm everyday lens, 105 mm macro lens, 16-35 mm wide angle lens & 80-400 mm long lens.

Feedback

Just remember that mother nature doesn't always cooperate with our plans for shooting. And if she does cooperate take the shot.
