Enchantments - Prusik peak morning reflection
This is the second year I got lucky to win an Enchantment core zone permit during its larch season. Last year, with all the preparation and expectations, an unexpected snow storm completely ruined the trip. With 10lbs of camera gear I only had chance to take one photo in three days. This year, I got a permit that's two weeks earlier than last year and weather was really cooperative as well. During our 4 day / 3 nights backpacking trip, we got to experience Enchantments in its full beauty. Larches were in peak color everywhere and we got the best lights we could only imagine in our wildest dreams.
This shot was taken at Gnome Tarn, a very famous place to take Prusik Peak reflections, in the early morning. The night before, the gust lasted the whole night and thank god we selected our base camp with enough wind blockers to shield our tents. In the morning, the wind was still quite strong, but this actually helped to create this magical moment when the fog and low clouds were blown around near the tarn. With the sun rising, everything was lit up and we all screamed and cannot believe this magical moment was just revealing itself in front of us. This is a shot I've been dreaming for years and I finally got it in the best condition I want.
