It's only the middle of october, but the wind on the high alpine tundra carries winter on its breath. A bull elk and his harem spend the morning grazing on whats left of the grasses of an extremely short summer. Longs Peak, one of Colorado's most famous "fourteeners" is already covered in a blanket of snow. Low lying clouds, caused by temperature inversion, are stuck in the lower valleys, completing as perfect a scene as I can imagine.

Elk (Cervus canadensis) - Rocky Mountain National Park - Colorado

Holy moly! I remember this morning as I was headed to work thinking, "Man I wish I was out taking some pics." Just a great job with your layering and perfect lighting. Longs is so beautiful right now. I can't wait to get out and take some shots at Chasm Lake soon. Can't wait to see more amazing work! Thanks for the insperation!

Epic scene there, I bet this would look great as a huge print. Great job exposing that dark foreground, very impressive. Did you blend exposures or just use filters?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Nate-Zeman In reply to tourofnature [2010-10-21 01:22:25 +0000 UTC]

actually the light was pretty evenly filtered by the clouds so theres no blending or filters used on this shot at all
