Decided to take a hike up to Lake Blanche and Sundial Peak in the Mill B of Big Cottonwood. About a 7 mile trip all-in. A nice 85 degrees, very few people and an ice-cold lake at the top.
There was a bit of a breeze on the way up, which wasn’t going to help for some still water reflections, but I decided to scout it anyways and maybe get lucky. I definitely lucked out. There was only one sketch section on the way up, this rock field you had to scamper through for about 20 feet. Not long but a slip here would be rough.
The reflections weren’t quite what I needed, but shooting 2 minute exposures during the day certainly gave the water enough time to settle down and get Sundial Peak reflected properly in the lake.
I’m really digging the first landscape photo in this series with the short depth of field on the flowers and the Lake Blanche shot with Sun dial peak to the left with the soft water and the crisp mountain. Really like that shot!
