Location
This photo was taken on the second night of a backpacking trip in the Wallowas in eastern Oregon.Time
It was July 4th weekend and there were still patches of snow on some sections of trail. The time was nearing sunset. We were living normal camp life and noticed the lovely glow on the mountain.Lighting
There was still plenty of natural light; I didn't need to make any special adjustments for it.Equipment
I was already lugging around about 40 pounds of camping stuff, so this was taken with a simple point and shoot: Canon Powershot SD800.Inspiration
It was simply a beautiful and peaceful moment and I wanted to capture it.Editing
No, very little was done to this photo. I liked it as is.In my camera bag
If backpacking, I only have my point and shoot and spare batteries for it.Feedback
Keep your eyes open and look around in all directions. Moments like this are fleeting and can easily be missed.
