A little different Maroon Bells shot.. most everyone has the classic lake shot (I have it in my photo library as well) but thought I’d offer a changeup as we leap headfirst into Autumn…

Be still my beating heart. I have a history with the Bells (most of it profane and unrepeatable here). This shot particularly appeals to me because it doesn’t have the postcard blue sky. I like the threatening clouds.
On the one hand, the iconic shots are iconic for a reason, and the Maroon Bells deserve all the attention they get. I hope to someday take one of those shots that everyone takes so I can learn from the process. That said, I’m driven by the unconventional takes that tell us more than the everyday approach does, and this is just a fantastic example of the kind of photography I hope to be good at someday.
Agree with Denny – love the dark sky. What beautiful geological stratification.
