Outside looking in. I was in the national forest area outside Yellowstone National Park photographing sunrise but the distant “peak”, Mount Jackson, is inside Yellowstone National Park. Mount Jackson is actually an ancient lava flow and not a peak at all. At the time I shot this image, I was more interested in the foggy backlit pine trees and shot several compositions zoomed in more tightly on the trees. I zoomed out a bit to give myself some cropping options later and actually preferred this image with all of Mount Jackson visible. If I had known at the time I would prefer this view, I might have included a little more room at the top of the image. At the time I shot it, I didn’t want to include the sky because it would be overblown. The brightest part of of the sky above the plateau is where the sun was rising.
