The unpredictable spring weather made it difficult to get the conditions I needed. The sky was often overcast, and my attempts didn’t quite meet my expectations until a few days ago. That morning, the air was cool, the light was just right, and a soft haze lingered in the distance.

When the sun finally reached the mountains, I had mere seconds, less than a minute, to capture the shot. The planet keep moving and time is fleeting; once it’s gone, it’s gone. This wasn’t about being in the right place at the right time. It was about creating that moment through numerous trials and relentless determination.

Morning Light

Last summer, when I hiked to capture the Milky Way, I didn’t have enough time to get the shot during blue hour, though I was thrilled to be up there. So, last weekend, I decided to head back for sunset, this time equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens. The image you see here was taken at 10mm, with a slight crop during post-processing. It’s actually a focus stack of three images since I was very close to the foreground.

Lake Cheseries

Standing on a rock, enveloped in the rhythm of nature while the river murmuring its ancient secrets nearby, I felt a profound connection. Breathing deeply under the rain in this sacred place, my heart raced with pure exhilaration. It was a deeply serene moment that reminded me: life, like the weather, is unpredictable and beautifully chaotic in its own way.

One morning, with a heart full of anticipation, I decided to pack my gear and head up into the mountains for an overnight trip. The moment I found my spot, I eagerly set up my tent, ate a simple meal, and settled in for an early night of sleep, excited for the adventures that awaited me.

At the crack of dawn, around 4am, I woke up, packed everything with quiet determination, and resumed my hike. As I wandered, searching for something special, I stumbled upon a breathtaking patch of flowers. Instantly captivated, I knew I had to abandon my original plan for this mesmerizing scene. The first light of sunrise gently caressed the petals, making them glow with an almost magical beauty. I stood there, in awe, feeling a deep connection to the serene and enchanting moment.
