Hiker on Sculpted Beach
This was taken on a day hike from Sky Camp to Coast Camp and back. We hit Sculpted Beach in the late afternoon. There was a layer of clouds and the sun hadn’t dropped between the clouds and the horizon yet, given the scene a soft light.
There was another photographer with a tripod waiting for the sun to break through under the clouds. I considered waiting to see if the light would improve also, but we still had a long hike back up the mountain in the dark so I opted to keep hiking. I think the other photographer probably got his light, because as we were hiking up past Coast Camp the sun broke through.
