Everybody say "Thank you Deep Space Nine Season 5, Episode 9: The Ascent for teaching me that Mount Whitney is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States."

(Also, in a roundabout way, for making me learn that the Secret Service weren't even assigned to protect the President until the aftermath of McKinley's assassination in 1901, and before then were assigned to combat the counterfeiting of coins. In a tragic twist of irony, they were also set up by Abraham Lincoln just hours before he got shot. Damn, if only he'd had the Secret Service...)

View of Mount Whitney from the Best Western Plus Frontier Motel by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view from outside a motel room in Lone Pine, looking to the west to the peaks and ridges around Mount Whitney. My thinking in composing this image was to zoom in and have those ridgelines and peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains filling up much of the image itself. A little bit of blue skies would be above, but they had a slight haze to it, and I wanted to minimize that. The other thing that caught my attention was the way the ridges seemed to layer themselves one after the other leading to Mount Whitney.

Mt-Whitney-Fan by Jessica Fridrich Via Flickr: This is a classic example of an opportunistic shot, pure serendipity. In early March, the sun was perfectly positioned behind Mt. Whitney with enough moisture and dust in the air for this beautiful fan of light cast by the peaks. I encourage you to zoom in and travel along the tops to see how complex the silhouette is. There was was little time to capture this fleeting moment given I had to swap the lens and find an acceptable composition. In the end, this beat my preconceived sunset shot :) Nikon Z7, 70-200 mm f4 Canon lens at 75mm, f8, 1/250 sec., ISO 64
