Dinkey Lake Perch
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2013 4:04 pm
Would like to share this beautiful piece of art that was taken while
out with our group of HST members in the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness.
There is a small hill north of the lake which takes one to the top of
the world, it has a magical view looking northward and would make
any photographer do flips of joy, especially if mother nature serves
up some quality million dollar light, the one that makes you go wow!
After finishing up dinner on my last night it was the usual walk up to
this spot that was found while scouting the first day at the lake, it
held the most promising views for a special capture or captures. This
panorama really speaks volumes about the beauty of the Sierra. Not
only do the views of First Dinkey Lake, Black Peak, and Rock Meadow
just northwest of the Peak add a touch of intimacy to the piece, but
also the warmth of the alpine glow on the piece of granite in the
foreground, on the trees, and the clouds high above the Sierra Crest
just makes it sings volumnes about the beauty of this land.
The granite boulder in the foreground not only anchors the piece but
also gives the viewer a sense of being at the edge of a perch which is
a key element in making the whole thing work. The shaded mid ground
adds a key element in the layering of the colors, which adds balance
to the overall piece.
This is the true essence of the Sierra!
Hope it speaks volumnes to your soul as it does to mine.
