p.1 #1 · Kearsarge Lake Sunset

I recently backpacked in Kings Canyon to catch a few sunset and sunrise shots in the national park. I wasn't disappointed when I saw some storm clouds rolling in, which gave a much more interesting photo. I usually like to post one photo after my trip, just one that stuck out the most and then update later with my other photos a few months later. Well here is a shot of Kearsarge Lake during sunset.

C&C welcome!

Nicely executed: get the sense of place (remoteness, high altitude...). I like it. Do you have more to share from this trip?

Hey Kelvin,

Very nice shot here, it definitely gives a sense of scale to the place.

Very cool! I might have walked past you, depending on when you were out there. I shot sunset there about a week ago, but was closer to the lake. I like this angle more, but was definitely too tired/lazy to trek up the hill for the sake of the shot.

Bringing the luminosity in the sky/clouds down a little would help. Nonetheless, that is an impressive view!

cohenxa - I do have a few more photos from the trip, I just haven't had time to go through all of them.

Jeffrey - Thanks! It is one of my favorite National Parks because of its remoteness. It also isn't as well known compared to the others.

JimFox - Thanks Jim, I had an opportunity to either stay at the lake, and get a shot there, or suck it up and hike a few hundred feet up for this shot. I really wanted to get the overview shot with all three lakes forming Kearsarge Lake.

bschmalz - do you have some shots from your trip?

Aaron Cowan - Thanks, I noticed that the clouds on the right were a little hot.

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks Mitchell.

I just got back from a 5 day backpacking trip on the high Sierra trail, hopefully I get some keepers from this trip as well.
