One more shot of my favorite location in Colorado, the crystal mill. For this particular shot, it was a constant battle with the sunlight streaking out from behind the clouds. As the shot was made during mid-day, the sun was pretty harsh and was giving me a lot of casting due to the fact that I was using a 10 stop ND filter and polarizing filter. So I had to actually wait for moving clouds to hide the sun so I get a decent cast and flare free image with decent long shutter speed.

Eventually, after a couple of misfires, a large cloud moved in between mountains and completely blocked the sun for me to get my shot ready. Thankfully I was able to get everything correct and was able to get back to our vehicle for the hour long trip back to civilization.
