Center Peak over Upper Bubbs Creek

Hi! I recently did a three week hike of the John Muir Trail that

goes through some spectacular High Sierra wild country. Between

trying to keep the trail dust off my lenses, dirty finger smudges off

my GND filters, lugging around my tripod and lenses and film for over

225 miles, and having limited time for photography due to the daily

mileage requirements for the thru-hike, etc., I was still able to

point my camera at some beautiful scenery. I took this photo with

both a 2-stop hard and a 3-stop hard GND (Galen Rowell's GND's, of

course, bless his soul), and the late afternoon sun on Center Peak

was still bright enough to blow through most of my 2-stop, so here's

the 3-stop hard version. This is a pretty remote area in the High

Sierra, on day 15 of our hike. I smelled really bad when I took this

shot, believe me. Any comments on composition, lighting, (or if

those subjects bore you, what do you think about UFO's and

Sasquatch?), any responses would be welcome and appreciated. Thank

you for your time! - Brian (aka Buck Forester)
