Wind-smoothed snow drifts over rolling terrain forming soft cloud-like volumes in pale blue-white, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

Nimbus

Deep snow lying over rolling ground in the Tetons in late January, drifted and wind-smoothed until the terrain stops reading as terrain. What is left is a set of soft volumes meeting at a shallow saddle — closer to cumulus than to a hillside.

Made at 150mm from a distance, which is what does it: the telephoto flattens the depth out of the slope and leaves only the shapes. There is no true white anywhere in the frame and nothing is clipped — the whole picture lives inside about twelve points of tonal range, and the faint blue in the shadowed folds is the only colour it needs.
