Sierra Wilderness Sunrise
North Peak and Shamrock Lake - 20 lakes Basin - California

This is the area I chose for my first Sierra backpacking experience. This view is just one of the rewards attained after hiking about 3.5 miles from the trailhead located at the parking lot next to Saddlebag Lake, which is about 2 miles from Yosemite National Park’s eastern boundary.
I posted a similar shot back in 2009; however this is a slightly wider version, and one that I processed using my current post-process workflow. As mentioned in previous posts, my current workflow concentrates on optimizing white-balance, for accuracy and of course for my own output style.
For a sense of scale, look closely just to the right of center where a small tent is visible with even smaller reflection.
