Precipice Lake
Several days into the wilderness along the High Sierra Trail is Precipice Lake. It's located at a high altitude (above the tree line) and just before Kaweah Pass, so most people are exhausted and walk right past this lake without stopping to appreciate it. I camped here and was the only person around. I was awestruck at the sheer walls which rose directly out of the emerald waters.
In order to have a manageable pack weight (still 48 lbs at the start!), I left behind my pro camera gear and only carried a Canon M5 mirrorless camera. I was quite impressed with it. All the lenses in the system are excellent, but I primarily used the 22mm f/2 pancake (which was used for this shot) and the Rokinon 12mm f/2. Both of these lenses are tiny and sharp even to the corners.
