Avalanche of Lillies

A frustrating summer of not getting out much due to work and family committments. After a 3 days sales meeting I was determined to get to the mountains and finally made it for a sunset hike last night. I had to wait for the wind to die to capture this meadow full of Avalanche Lillies with Mt. Rainier in the background.

Avalanche of Lillies belongs to the following groups:

    I love this deep DOF image. I can’t tell…did you use any kind of fill-flash or foreground lighting, or is it all natural light?
