Rays in the Darkness
I peeked into this folder from months ago that I had written off as a failure and scrounged this one out of it. It was my first time trying out my 100-400, and I made some technical errors with the exposures, but I had done some exposure stacking on this image so once I tweaked it and merged the exposures in Photoshop it wasn't so bad. I think I was originally really disappointed that the foreground was blown out black, but looking at it again, maybe it adds to the composition having that layer of black in front. The view is from Bessie Butte a ways up and on the north side facing west. Mt Bachelor is the obscured Mountain on the right side.
