Tetons Before Dawn - Canvas, Metal, & Acrylic

NOTE: Watermarks do not print on the image. It is for online safeguarding only.

Typically you want to have directional light in landscapes. Typically. I'm over the moon for this, though. This was just before dawn. This was actually just a test image to see if this was where I wanted to set up. I didn't like it so I moved. It wasn't until I got home that I saw this and thought...wow. This was my first trip to Grand Tetons.

When the sun did finally hit the peaks, it was stunning. I was overjoyed to capture it and see it for the first time - certainly not the last. It's always the unexpected test frames that you really fall in love with.

There's no real light direction yet I see so much beauty and detail. I feel the cold stinging my exposed fingers and remember the excitement as we whispered around our group to find a better spot (because there was about 300 other people there at the same time). Even after the trek down the trail a little further, I still come back to this image. It's one of my favorites and is now the background on my computer.

Available as a canvas, acrylic print, or metal print
