This scene was taken in blue mountain light at late dusk. The steep slate slope was a tricky business, and it was getting difficult to see, but the Really Right Stuff TVC-24L afforded footholds for the tripod feet with two long legs and one very short one, which is why I hugely prefer the “L” version for field use. A strong wind whips the foliage around.
Includes images up to 24 megapixels, along with crops.
To my eye, natural sculptures like this would sell for millions if they were made by a human being, but here one stands, free to enjoy and exhibited in context like no human-made art could be. A black-and-white rendition of this image is found on the Examples: White Mountains Before Snowstorm page.
