I had spent the day hiking through the Cardrona Range area and found a series of ridges that sat high in the clouds. The sun seemed to burn through the clouds and scorch the sides of each ridge with a golden glow. The colours on the hillsides changed every few seconds like a light show on stage. With a long lens I zeroed in on this ridge line to capture that light.

Sometimes you have to go high in the hills to find something special. The light changes also, when you climb in altitude, especially if clouds creep in. Keep in mind that the sun lighting your scene through clouds can fool you cameras meter into thinking the overall scene is brighter than it is. Use your settings to overexposure your image by a small adjustment to make sure it does not look too dull, as this is what the camera will want to do.
