I lost count at how manytimes I woke up at stupid o'clock for a sunrise only to be disapointed with a grey overcast or clear blue sky instead. So imagine my excitment when I was driving to my location and I started to see the sky light up behind the mountains. There was one problem though, I was a few minutes away from the trailhead and still had to hike 2km. I started to worry I simply wouldn't make it on time. I had no idea I had it in me to sprint for 2km with a 40 lbs camera backpack on my back, but with the right motivation, I guess anything is possible! Once I got to the spot, the sky was on fire and the sunrise was at its peak. I didn't even have time to catch my breath, I setup the camera and started shooting.

 

This image is a focus stack of 2 photos plus a third darker exposure blended in for the sky in order to preserve the details in the highlights.
