“This is a self-portrait taken on my John Muir Trail thru hike a couple years ago. We were climbing Forester Pass, the highest pass along the entire JMT (and the PCT) at over 13,000′. I stopped to look at the view behind me from a ridge below the pass, looking north, as clouds began to envelope the canyon. It was an awesome moment!
Taken via tripod and self-timer with a Canon Elan 7; Fuji Velvia 50 film; Canon 17-40mm lens; Hoya Moose warming circular polarizer filter; 2-stop soft GND filter.” – Buck
