Morning light falls on the colorful mountain hillsides of Polychrome mountains in Denali National Park, Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 70-200mm f/2.8L IS (165mm), 1/80 sec @ f/5.0, ISO 200
The region of Polychrome Pass in Denali National Park is known for its steeply bordered road and for the many colors that appear in the Alaska Range mountains. The morning light leaked through a few clouds that were brewing around the Polychrome mountains on this August morning, and a mix of warm and cool colors make this a vibrant scene. In Lightroom, I used a neutral density filter to lighten the foreground, and +21 vibrance, and -21 clarity to give it a more “water color” feel. No saturation was applied.
