A New Day

You never really know what is going to happen when you wake up. I got up early to drive to Vermilion Lakes, on the drive out I found a destroyed car in the ditch with a man inside unconscious. I managed to get him out of the car and with the first responders, and still managed to make sunrise. Everyday is a second chance at life, make the most of it.

Hey man, nice shot/portfolio. Just wondering if you use neutral density filters or a type of HDR in your work? Love your shots of the Rockies :D

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Depending on the image there might be a touch of HDR, on here just two images are HDR. I try to do it as subtle as I can but still impactful. Every shot (except night shots) I use ND grad filters to darken the sky to match the foreground or at least bring them more into balance. I also shoot more for the highlights, you can bring more info back from the darks without image loss then you can with highlights.

fantastic image. love your work. very inspiring.
