Uncovering the ephemeral elusiveness of a landscape is one of the most difficult elements in wilderness photography. It requires a high level of anticipation of what the light might unravel several hours, days, weeks or months later. I have a mental map of many areas in the Southwest based on this principle of ephemeral elusiveness.
This area is fairly well visited. Many people go there for a very specific attraction and get locked in by it. Bad tunnel vision! I do not exclude myself!
Winter 2022/23 I visited the area, for the umpteenth time, with someone who jumped onto the main attraction while I just wandered around and looked. All of the sudden I was struck by a complete new composition, but the light was not right. It took three trips back to finally get close to what I envisioned 13 months ago.
