Pink Teton Winter Sunrise • We have thirteen days per year where we might find the moon setting on the Grand Tetons at sunrise, half of those days the weather won't allow it. Half of that time commitments make showing up impossible. Whenever the stars and moons line up though there is no place I'd rather be.
On this morning I was hoping to shoot from the overlook Ansel Adams made famous; however, the pink cloud on the right was the south end of a fog bank, it was time to recalculate. I went to the next turnout south and it was too far south for optimum moon and color, I backtracked searching for a compositional optimum. My new compositional optimum was not a parking optimum, but I had to make due. It is a good thing there is very little traffic headed south on ten below zero winter mornings. I was delighted with my pink fog bank. |
