St. Mary Lake Sunrise

This shot was taken last week at St. Mary Lake - Glacier NP. The sunrise looked promising, but the clouds exploded in color once the sun came up. There was just a bit of haze from the wildfires in Idaho, so I don't know if that heightened the color or not, but it was stunning.

5DIII, 24mm TS/E, three vertical shot blend using the shift feature of the TS/E - stitched in PS. 1/50 sec, f11, ISO 800 (the wind was blowing pretty good so I had to try to stop tree movement).

Please view the large version for more detail - also it's best viewed in Firefox for most accurate color.

Thanks to Mark Metternich for a great job of guiding me to some epic spots in Glacier NP.
