Such lovely depth...a far ranging and quietly fabulous landscape.
That sunset really sets off the blue-greens so well.

Scott, the crest of the Sierra and the light make my heart go pitty-pat! That is my spiritual place of birth. The Sierra above timberline is holy ground.

I love the little peek of the lake! Beautiful sky, and the layers of mountain really give this a three dimensional quality! I have not Been to this park in several years, and may have to go back!

Magnificent, Scott. I love the little lake tucked in there and the reflections in it.
The foreground pines a beautiful, followed by the layers of mountains and then the sky.
GORGEOUS!

Nice shot - and it goes well with the podcast. did you do much post processing here? These kind of shots are hard for me because of the wide range of light levels If you expose the sky like you want, then the foreground is too dark and vice versa.

@PD: Thanks for the comment - I use three methods in these situations - 1) ND filters to lower the light on the sky - 1,2,or a 3 stop graduated neutral density filter - this is the fastest method and requires less processing work 2) bracket the images for masking in photoshop or 3) bracket the images for use in an HDR program for processing - for this image I used 2 bracketed images and processed in photoshop using masks. This result gives me great clarity throughout the image but requires a lot of processing work to get the results I want, but in the end it looks more like what I saw vs. what the camera can see.

beautiful mountain landscape! i like the layers of trees and ridges as the line up across the frame and the touches of orange at the top complete the photo really well!
