Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Artist Point was definitely named for a reason. This shot even looks like a painting. I set my alarm for an early start and headed to the roar of the falls. The whole scene was covered in mist as I arrived at the point. I was crushed. I paced the path as I waited for the mist to clear. 30 minutes later I set up my camera and early morning light blasted the cliffs and falls. It was a lightshow I’ll never forget, especially considering minutes earlier I couldn’t see anything. I pressed the shutter and felt great. Soon after the mist burnt off and it was just another normal day. Timing is everything: I love the feeling. I felt like I had just seen another world.

Sophia ★★★★★

The mist from the falls makes the canyon walls look almost surreal, and the early morning light in this one is exactly what I was hoping to capture. It’s framed so well that the layers of rock and pine just pull you in.

Violet ★★★★★

The golden light hitting the canyon walls in this print makes it feel more like a classic oil painting than a photograph. I've had it framed above my desk for a month now and I still catch myself staring at the mist rising off the falls.

Grace ★★★★★

The mist from the falls looks so tangible it’s like I can feel the spray, and that painterly quality to the whole scene really does make it feel like a masterpiece. I’ve had it up for a week and keep catching myself staring at the way the light hits the canyon walls every single time I walk past.
