Fire On the Chugach Mountains

Uploaded: May 20, 2016 | Entered: May 20, 2016 16:26:14

Description

The Eagle River Valley from the Eagle River Nature Center platform. Glacial waters are starting to melt and the Eagle River begins to rise and flow faster. I set a long exposure to get some of the reflections of the mountains and also to see the clear bottom of the river (which you can see slightly on the left side of the front of the river). It is snowing on the mountains where the river is flowing. This was at dusk sometime in April. Two photos put together in PSCC to make the pano. Edited with PSCC, Nik tools, and Perfect Imaging (by Athentech Images). f/22, 1.1 Seconds, 100 ISO

An extraordinary sight, Sue. The beauty of the river trailing away toward the mountains leads to the vibrant glow of the sky. Impressive work. #1658546

Thanks, Usman. Yes, it is. I lived only six miles from this. It is part of the Chugach Mountains and is quite beautiful. #11483041
