I encountered compelling, dynamic lighting conditions throughout this trip to Kebler Pass, Colorado. I explored most of 32-mile-long Kebler pass and had time to visit most of my favorite spots. I will forever cherish this moment when I finally stumbled on the perfect perspective of the East Beckwith Mountains—the trees seem to guide my eyes upward to the majestic peaks of the Colorado Rockies hiding within these mystic-looking clouds. It was a somewhat complicated shot: to include all of the elements needed to frame the scene, I hurried and set up my BIG lens and took three different exposures to blend into this vertical panoramic image, which beautifully displays the marriage of these natural elements.
