p.1 #1 · Falls to Unicorn


I've had this shot in mind for 2 solid years, but the sky conditions never seemed to come together. Now if only there were some snow on the peak...

C&C welcome and very much appreciated!

Hey Tim,

Well, while snow on the peaks would be cool, remember snow doesn't stay long on those peaks at all. Plus, while you might be missing some snow, I will say that this shot is so sweet that in my mind nothing was missing! You got a sweet angle with some super sweet light. I love the flow of the water and how you composed this.

Way to go on having a vision for a shot, and then being able to follow through with it. You nailed this and I am voting for this puppy.

Thepeaks look nice with the evening light, no saying snow would have improved it.

Thanks Jim! That means a lot to me coming from you This was one of those times when I felt really good about the shot in the moment, and it looked how I imagined it would when I came back to edit.

nice shot


Thanks for the kind words! I was going through some old photos, and noticed that I haven't seen an appreciable amount of snow on the high country peaks in three years due to drought. I was just poking at the feeling I always seem to get about never quite having a photo the way I want it, even though I think this is currently my favorite photo of mine.

Snow would have been great but you got really cool shot here. Strong Fg elements and great lighting on the peaks.

Excellent image snow or no snow Tim!
The need for snow should keep you going back for more.

Great shot Aston!

I'll echo Jim's comments and great that you executed a vision you had. 2 years in the making I guess you can say.

you got my vote.

Don't sweat the snow, looks great. I'd be tempted to pull down the sky a bit, but just a little nitpick.

Hey Tim,

If i could vote twice for this one i would!

Now i know where there are some waterfalls by the start of the trail to Cathedral Lakes, but i am not familiar with any waterfalls that would line up with Unicorn Peak. I guess i am going to have to pull some maps out and figure out where you took this from.

Jim, You can find this area by walking around pothole dome to where the tuolumne starts down the hill.
