After arriving to Glacier, I was told by locals, the last two weeks have been nothing but gray skies, rain, and snow. The last bit of a recent three foot drop was melting and promising light just didn't seem possible. After cursing the conditions and muttering under my breath, maybe slight pouting as well, the skies began to open a bit. A rainbow formed in the valley and my rantings were quickly silenced. From that point on, I have stopped becoming frustrated when conditions don't work out. Mother Nature will do what she whats, when she wants to do it. You either adapt to it and push on or continue being let down.
the portions where the clouds are thinner and the snow covered mountains at the horizon add something misty to the photo. I simply love it. Almost perfect. Did you use a GND filter? The tree tops are way darker than the rest of the foreground.
Thank you! I did not use a grad at the time. This is a manual blend of two exposures. I tried to keep the underexposed shot from creeping in on the trees but each time I did, no matter the amount of Gaussian blur I would apply, I noticed a hint of ghosting around the edges. So instead of fighting it, I went ahead and kept the GND appearance.
