Wildflowers in front of Mount Moran and the Grand Tetons

Wildflowers in front of Mount Moran and the Grand Tetons
Leaving Jackson, Wy, we traveled up the mountains to the east. This was towards the top of path out and had a pullout for an overlook. The Grand Teton Mountain range is in the distance with Mount Moran in center with more of the Tetons to the left. Mountain wildflowers were forming a dense carpet and I sat down with the tripod to compose this scene. Brent sat by me swatting mosquitoes. This is a focused stacked image - two separate photos with one focusing on the wildflowers up close and the other focusing on the mountains in the distance. I then merged them in photoshop and blended the two for a final image with focus from front to back. Additionally, shooting at f/13 helped as well.
1/160 sec at f/13 ISO 400 with "18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G VR" at 34 mm focal length on a Nikon D7000 - Visit me at carlchristensen.zenfolio.com for prints.
