Sunrise at Hume Lake

I took this photo August 2024 when I was part of a tour group visiting Kings Canyon and Sequoia national parks. Our group spent part of the time at the Hume Lake retreat. I kind of like this picture I took on my last day on the tour:

It turned out underexposed, but I really like it. The blue is pretty much how it looked. I did very little manipulation on that picture.

A good picture can be taken with almost any camera under the right circumstances.

This is so gorgeous, and peaceful. The glassy water, the wonderful colors, the feeling of spaciousness--all of these elements make this an outstanding photo!
