Cattle on Snow-Covered Ranchland, Eastern Sierra
I found this composition on a stormy February weekend in 2023. Just days earlier, temperatures across California dipped so low that snow fell in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the mountains overlooking Los Angeles. A winter storm rolled through the Sierra, dumping enough snow to shut down the only highway directly linking the region with the rest of the state. The storm also left the Owens Valley covered in snow. While driving along a backroad, I spotted a herd of cattle grazing on the snow-covered pasture off in the distance. Immediately I thought I could combine both the grazing cattle and the snowy peak. I started walking and then running along the road, stopping only to check the scene through my viewfinder. After a few minutes, I found the right balance of all the elements and used my 80-200mm zoom lens to bring in the scene.
