I'm pretty happy with this pretty shot! I was very lucky to be at the right place at the right time. This location is not what I had planned. In fact, I was on my way to a real estate shoot. The place where I live is down under those clouds, across the street from Donner Lake. I had called the real estate agent and asked how the weather was looking at the summit house, because it looked grey and non-photogenic at my house. She assured me it was mostly clear with a blue sky at the house I was shooting.
As I was driving up the road to the house, I got above the inversion clouds and was treated to a beautiful view. Since I was a little ahead of schedule, I pulled over at Rainbow Bridge, hopped out of my SUV, and shot this image. Three minutes later I was back on the road, headed to my shoot.
Shot with a Canon R5 MarkII and a 24-105mm lens. ISO 320, the shutter speed was 1/160 of a second, and the lens aperture was f/22. Handheld, no filters.
Thank you for looking, and I hope you all had a beautiful day too!
