Hyalite Sunrise

[Kyle Jones]

This is Hyalite Reservoir near Bozeman, Montana. The forecast looked good for sunrise this morning, so after some research I picked this as the spot to try. The water level was lower than I would have liked, which kept me from moving to my left and reducing how much the trees blocked the mountains on the right, but the sunrise itself didn't disappoint. For the record, the overall saturation is at -10 in this and I further reduced the red saturation by another 20 points. Driving back down the canyon I saw why there were so many bear tracks in the mud at the reservoir - two black bears crossed the road in front of me.

Beautiful sunrise Kyle. The mountains in this area are stunning.

I was quite impressed with the beauty of the Gallatin Mountains farther south from this location and after seeing this wish I had spent more time around Bozeman last fall after leaving the Tetons instead of continuing on to Butte.

Beautiful. One of those SOOC shots that looks saturated and you end up desaturating it in processing. It must've been unreal seeing it in person.

Wow. That’s some color in the sky. And you got a nice reflection to go with it.

There are definitely lots of possibilities around here. I just need more time...

Very nice!

Thanks Barry!

It was impressive. I am feeling like i still need to tone it down a little more. I'll see what i think when i get onto my real computer tomorrow.

I had to brave the mud to get the reflection. And for once i didn't fall!

Fantastic sky Kyle.

It was Ben, thanks!
