Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 soft browns and blues holding

soft browns and blues holding steady while the sky carried all the intensity

This image is about contrast

The rim feels raw and immediate

almost like a relic from another time

Nothing dramatic or extreme

Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 soft browns and blues holdingMount Sneffels, Colorado This photograph was made in the afternoon while traveling through the San Juan Mountains between Ouray and Telluride. I wasnt chasing drama or waiting on a narrow window of light. I simply wanted to see how Mount Sneffels would hold up when treated plainly, with a longer lens and a single exposure. As Ive leaned more into traditional approaches, Ive found myself reaching for portrait length and telephoto lenses more often.
