Story: Early in my career I made many unsuccessful trips up Little Lakes Valley with my camera. Though various lakes with a backdrop of Bear Creek Spire offer many inspirational vistas, it is a difficult place to photograph.  The valley runs north and south with high mountains along each side, making it tough to find the early or late lighting that works photographically.  I was at Heart Lake earlier this particular November morning and was on my way back to the car when I happened by Grass Lake.  It was a cold morning, and frozen ice around the lake’s edges enabled me to walk out to the spot I wanted.  Using a three-stop soft split filter, I was delighted to produce a successful image on my first attempt at this particular composition.
