Oxbow Bend web

Continuing on with my little Wyoming adventure we find ourselves at the beautiful Oxbow Bend. After almost no sleep the night before, a 10 mile hike, and an unexpectedly cold night at the foothills of the Tetons I decided to get up early and catch the sunrise. I woke up about 30 minutes after my alarm went off and 15 minutes before sunrise. I jumped up, threw my clothes on and rushed out the door (of the tent) all while praying I'd have a halfway decent place to shoot without having to climb underneath someone's tripod. Fortunately, I was staying about 8 minutes from Oxbow Bend according to my GPS which means about 5 if you "forget" to look at your speedometer. As you can see I made it in time for the sunrise and I believe it's the best light I had the entire trip. I opted for the long exposure because I thought the softness of moving clouds would showcase the rigid mountain structure a bit better.

 

Let me know what you think. Thanks for looking.
