The Mist Trail

18-135mm · f/13 · 1/8 · ISO 200

The Mist Trail, Yosemite. This 3 mile, steep grade trail was very punishing, not only did I have to climb over 2000 feet up the mountain, but also alongside two waterfalls with an insane amount of spray, making me soaked before reaching the top. I had to constantly put my camera back into my bag so that I could climb with free hands and not ruin it, but it was worth it in the end. I captured stunning shots, including this one, which depicts a river with Vernal Falls in the background. Using a long exposure, I was able to soften the water and show the mist. I then enhanced and stylized the image in Lightroom. In the end, I'm very proud of how it turned out.
