p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Crispy Light Show


After my last shot from this exact location a few weeks ago, I decided to head back a second time to capture the Larches in full autumn colour with my Dad. It was his first ever hiking/camping experience and he wasn't disappointed with the views we both got during the trip.

No matter what the conditions were over the 3 days, I was determined to capture something special and made the hike up the Nublet every sunrise, sunset, and even mid day when the light looked promising. On the second morning after waiting almost 2 hours past sunrise in thick fog and insane wind, things opened up and I captured this amazing crispy foggy light show. I hope everyone likes it, and I can't wait to print it big! I have more epic light from this spot then I know what to do with, so I'll try and spread out my other shots from here over the winter

I wasn't there.

Sweet capture, the quality of the light was outstanding and you can definitely feel the crispness in the air.

Thanks Gary. Im not sure which one I like better. The colours are great in my older shot, but these conditions are totally original from this location and I havent seen any similar shots like it before. Plus I prefer my pano comp and the quality of it cause I hauled up my good lens this trip

I say crisp, but in reality it was almost unbearable. The winds up here at some points almost blew me over. I came home with a wind burned crusty face even though most of my time was spent hiding in the trees haha.

Thanks! Hopefully he is proud. At the very least he will want a big print of this for memory sake! He actually reached the peak with a friend only 5-10 minutes after this light show happened so at least I have this shot to show him what he barely missed.

This is pretty sweet buddy. Hard to believe conditions change so fast in a couple of weeks. Nice job on the front page -- you deserve it!

Absolutely stunning Justin. I love the glow on the fog bank on the right but the whole scene is beautiful.

seriously....
great shot.
My few camping trips never turned out well with my Dad who preferred a hot diner meal over my oatmeal. He said he stop camping after the Army.
