Chasm Sunrise
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado | 2024
A breathtaking sunrise from Chasm View as the first warm rays of sunlight illuminate The Diamond, the sheer granite east face of Longs Peak (14,259 ft / 4346 m). This massive face is one of the largest alpine rock walls in Colorado and a world famous climb first ascended by Dave Rearick and Bob Kamps in 1960.
It is difficult to convey the sheer scale of this scene, which is a panorama of stitched vertical photos from a very wide angle 14mm lens. Even with such a wide lens shot in vertical orientation, I still could not fit the entire base of the wall in the frame!
Also worth mentioning is how terrifying it was to photograph this scene at the edge of a sheer abyss. In fact the wall directly below me appeared to be tilted past vertical, and glancing over the edge was nearly heart-stopping even though I don't have an acute fear of heights. I placed my tripod right on the edge with one leg extended out towards me where I could hold it from a distance, laid down back from the edge, and reached out as far as I could with my arms to control the camera. The adrenaline of being at this precipitous spot combined with the elation of witnessing a spectacular sunrise here made for quite an exhilarating morning shoot! Photo © copyright by Jack Brauer.
