While shooting Hallett last weekend, I wanted to capture the exposure from the ridge I was shooting from. Honestly, I wasn't too happy with the foreground of last weeks composition (first post "Hallett Chaos") because it didn't show the dramatic drop-offs to the north. This image was shot just seconds before sunrise, obviously from a tripod. When I opened the image I was pleasantly surprised to have all this color. It's amazing what alpenglow can do for a photo.

I hope that wasn't your route up. Those are some wild colors! Well done.

Quite a complicated and interesting comp on this one. I like the detail of the lichen on the rocks and the subtle view of Emerald Lake below. I wish the upper right corner wasn't as dark but it appears the alpenglow hadn't reached that far yet.

When I looked up vertigo in the dictionary, this photo was there! Crazy cool comp! Love that light, too.

That light is amazing! It really does add a lot of saturation to the rocks!
