Seven Gables Basin

by Greg Cope

This was taken late one afternoon on a backpacking trip to Seven Gables Basin in the Sierra Nevada. That day I had hiked up from the trailhead to this beautiful area. I was unclear of my destination for the day when I climbed over a crest to see this view and just threw off my pack. I knew where I was camping that night.
Equipment: Canon RebelXT, 17-40mm

I started landscape photography with a cheap film slr camera with the goal of bringing home views from my trips into the Sierra Nevada mountains. I was hooked from then on and posted many of my photos on a rudimentary website. In the last few years I've taken up digital, which I mainly shoot now, but I still have that cheap film slr which I use to shoot a role of fuji velvia every now and then. Over the last year I have gotten into wildlife and bird photography.

The water looks kind of purplish. Pretty cool looking. What brand/model of polarizer did you use? Cheers.

Slightly surreal colours. You’ve handled the image very well.
