Fall Colors

This area in the Beartooths really doesn't have much in terms of fall foliage, but the colors really reminded me of an autumn palette.

I didn't get started from the trail head until five in the evening or so, I walked over froze to death plateau until about 3 in the morning got a little off track and ended up here. I was to tired to set up my tent so I just threw my sleeping bag down on the rocks here. I was quite surprised and delighted when I woke up in the morning to this view.

Wow, I have to believe you were led there to witness and record this.Fantastic comp, color, and light. What a view! Superb, Jeremy.

Cool shot! The fresh snow makes those mountains look awesome.

The foreground and fresh snow really work for me.

Awesome! Show us more PLEASE!

Love that wide! How wide did you go on that shot? Beautiful.

Beautiful Jeremy.

Great composition. So thats how you do it. You just throw your sleeping bag down and there it is when you wake up! I'll have to try that next time I'm out ( In the summer of course).

What a beauty! The snow totally makes this shot. Post some more!

Thanks for all the kind comments, I've got a couple projects going on so I'm not sure when I'll have time to process some more, hopefully sooner than later. Kane it was taken at 10mm (on the canon 10-22)

Great detail and color!

Lots to love about this! Great depth and stark scenery! Thanks!

What a gorgeous location and you captured it well!

Wow, I would love to wake up to that! Great composition, and very nice capture of the snow on the peaks and that sky.

VERY nice scene! Just proves you don't need aspens for a fall color image. Well done.

Great story and great photo!

Awesome image. I would like to try a wider lens than my 17mm someday. That is a glorious sunrise to wake up to. I admire someone who can hike until 3 AM.

Nice shot Jeremy! Let me guess where this is. Mystic Lake drainage?

That looks like a cold and uncomfortable place to sleep but what a prize in the morning!

Nice shot, well done!

Very nice! Love the wide-angle approach and the colors. I'll pass on the "throw down the sleeping bag" approach, though - brrr!

That really is fantastic! Very nice use of the foreground rocks to anchor the composition and build the depth. The image feels so vast :)

Dean close, it is on the way to Granite though, this spot is actually very close to Tempest.

Geez Jeremy, are you sure you aren't part mountain goat? That's not easy to get to. One things for sure, you'll have a photo nobody else has taken.

Yeah it was more of a pain than usual as it had snowed four feet about four days prior to this, you can't really tell from the photo because this side of the plateau was pretty windblown, but for most of the way I was post holing (should have brought some snowshoes) through some pretty deep powder. I had planned on a solo climb of granite but instead I got stuck in my tent for two days as another storm ended up rolling in.
