wasn’t enough to keep me away from this jagged peak..
“To the complaint, ‘There are no people in these photographs,’ I respond, There are always two people: the photographer and the viewer.”
Ansel Adams
There’s something about the mountains that puts things into perspective and I don’t think that I will ever grow tired of looking at them.
There is such magic in capturing a moment that is only fleetingly visible.
This was one of those times on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains in Canada. Rain, clouds, and fog can be a little more challenging to work around but they also provide opportunities like this one where a crack in the clouds revealed this peak still frosted with winter snow.
I like to find the unusual in a landscape. That might take a change of lens, direction, perspective, settings or all of the above.
If you’re not afraid of getting wet the rain seems to add a vibrancy to foliage and a simple trash bag with your lens poked through a hole in the bottom can keep your gear dry if it isn’t weather sealed.
Great photo opportunities can happen anytime under any conditions so don’t let a little weather or less than perfect light keep your camera in its bag…
it's (almost always) about the water... 
The contrast between the jagged, linear rock and the diaphanous, amorphous mist is just stunning.
Thank you so much! Was grateful for the sky crack!
I have always longed to photograph in rain, so I value the simple (and here-to-fore unconsidered) suggestion of a trash bag. Your image is all the encouragement anyone could ever need! A glimpse of magic.
Thanks Jenny, it’s a simple fix perhaps not very glamorous but there’s usually nobody looking anyways! Love the vibrancy and reflective surfaces found on rainy days, especially at night.
