Description
There’s something unforgettable about watching the first light of day touch El Capitan — especially on a frigid December morning. The valley is still and silent, the air sharp and cold, and then suddenly, the granite face of this giant begins to glow with soft golden light. It’s a moment of quiet majesty, where nature reminds you just how powerful and peaceful it can be.
Printed as a metal print — not actually on metal, but on premium fine art paper with a metallic finish — this image showcases stunning clarity, depth, and brilliance. The metallic surface enhances the soft warm hues of the sunrise against the cool tones of the season, bringing every detail of El Capitan to life. For my work, metal is always my preferred choice — especially for scenes that rely on light and texture to tell the story.
Each print is hand-signed and dated on the back.
Winter’s First Light – El Capitan is a tribute to Yosemite’s quiet winter magic — a fleeting moment of warmth in the heart of the cold.
