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.

Clearly this needs to be framed and hanging in an art gallery!
Thank you for sharing!

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!
