Laurel Mountain at Sunset

Hikin' Mike

I was going to go next week for the fall colors, but decided to go Friday/Saturday because of the recent storms. Tioga Pass closed Thursday evening because of snow, but thankfully they opened it Friday morning. I spent Friday night camped at the Convict Lake Campground so I have both sunset and sunrise. I've only processed the sunset photo...

Gorgeous! Not sure what 1/8 and 1/20 blended means. Could you explain please?

Love to see larger image.

Thanks
Phil

I took two separate pictures at 1/8 seconds (for the foreground) and 1/20 seconds (the sky) and used Layer Masks in Photoshop to blend the two together. Similar to using GNDs (Graduated Neutral Density filter).

I only post photos up to 800px, sorry.

Thanks for looking!

looks nice, I almost went to convict lake for sunrise saturday, looks like that would have been a good call!

Sunrise wasn't too bad Saturday. The clouds weren't as dramatic in the morning as it was Friday night, but still, nice display. I'll post one later.
