Christmas Card 2010
This is a 360-degree panorama overlooking Colchuck Lake with the Enchantment Peaks (or, the Enchantments) off to the right, and the sun setting to the left between Dragontail Peak and Colchuck Peak. Photographed from the doorway to the Enchantments, Aasgard Pass, with Cashmere Mountain in the distance (towards the middle). To access Aasgard Pass one starts out on Trail #1599 and then continues on with Trail #1599.1 (Green Trails map #209S). Taken in mid-October when the larch are all ablaze in fall gold, this point is about 5½ miles in from the trailhead and around 6,000 feet above sea level. Because the mountains are so sheer, the 43 photos were all taken with a vertically handheld DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera set at ISO 100 and f/8 using a wide-angle zoom lens (12 to 24). To bring out the shadow detail the LDR (Low Dynamic Range) image was converted to a HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. Entered into the “Catch-All” category.
