Taken at the Riwaka Resurgence, New Zealand.

This image is from a series of photos I took of "Mt. Baldy" this past July. Located just outside of Grand Lake, Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park, this valley was one of the most picturesque places I have ever visited.

The images were shot vertically and stitched together in photoshop to achieve much higher final pixel count than would be possible with this camera's native resolution. I have intentionally refrained from 'over-saturating' the colors because I wanted this photo to look as realistic as possible. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Taken today, a beautiful meadow where grizzlies can be seen quite often. Fortunately, we haven't. We reached this heavenly spot by hiking from the Highwood Pass parking lot, a moderate climb which was in a spot already covered with snow!

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Shot at f/9, 1/125 second, ISO 400. Developed in Adobe Lightroom 3 and sharpened in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
