Ten Peak Precipice
Aha! I have found another flickr-worthy photo from the archives! Once again it comes from the Mt. Temple album, which was one of my most productive photographic ascents yet. Sometimes I only get two or three "great" shots from a mountain adventure, but that's because not every mountain provides the best views, or is summited on a day with good weather. And it may not even be the fact that the views aren't that good, but more so my inability to compose an appealing composition in the little time spent at the summit. It's hard to think and consider photographic options when I am huffing and puffing from taking the last 50m with a little too much speed and not enough patience. And most summits don't allow you to wander very far so even if it would be amazing to step two feet to the left to include "that" rock or get "that" ridge in line, it may not be possible given the physical limits of the mountain's position. Likewise the weather and wind do not typically encourage long stays at the summit, so making a few quick shots is sometimes all I can get, especially with mitts off in Temple's case…... Brrrrrr! Still, I'm anticipating plenty more adventures in the coming years and this winter will hopefully hold some grand ones! Thanks for looking! I'd love to hear what you think of my shots :)
