How I Got This Shot: This was taken at Graveyard Fields, but it was a little off the trail. I missed the header to get onto the loop and ended up hiking basically up the hill, where you can see the entire valley and the parking lot. It’s an amazing view for getting shots of the trees and the landscape as a whole. I liked the contrast between the dead tree and its more imposing look and the greens and reds behind it. This was handheld, as most of my photography is when I hike.
