When I'm in the mood to make photos, I have a major problem with grey. It makes everything dull, destroys all depth, and often makes it a waste of time to even pull the camera out. I don't mean white out, or cloudy, or foggy....look at the last post, that can sometimes be very scenic, I just mean the solid grey skies, as seen below.
I bought the new camera I've been coveting for a long time, and while the camera is everything I wanted and more, the debut hike for it was....unsatisfying. No matter, there is more coming, and it was good to get out.
The other problem is the dynamic range in a place like this is garbage. While this camera has expanded settings to help this, the rich, dark green trees against bright white sky and snow, just doesn't work.
This was about the best I could wrangle.
We climbed up towards eagle lake, but got bored and stopped at a boulder field.
Ate some snacks, and talked about how cold the rocks made our butts.
Someday soon, this huge tree will fall.
I didn't realize everyone had agreed on the "hands on lap" pose, else I would have followed suit.... maybe I'm just more friendly.
