Some mountains have become close friends of mine. These are peaks that i have photographed numerous times over the years, climbed in every season and portrayed from almost every possible angle. Riebecohka, which means Fox Peak, is one of those peaks.

This particular morning, in early November, mist was floating through the area. I was with the best people and we were all mesmerized by the beauty. I wish i could say i had to put in some serious effort to get this shot, but no, its taken from the side of the road. It was a wonderful morning and looking at this shot takes me right back there. The scenery, the fresh air and everything else.

Over the past year i have been moving in direction where i work with less colour. When i work in color its always with quite muted tones and never with strong bold colors. Im certainly moving towards a monochrome expression lately and ive been enjoying working in mono over the last months. Curious to see where this leads me over the coming year. Time will tell.

Shot this on the Fuji GFX 50S with a 250mm. Again, its a simple composition with the tree line contrasting against the mid ridge and the mountain in the back, creating a triangle of lines and shapes and negative space above and below. The key word for a lot of my compositions is balance, and this one fits that quite well.
