Stirring to Life

Nathaniel Merz - Daejeon, South Korea

After an amazing(ly tiring) 11 hour trip to the top of this peak with fellow photographers Ryan Bentley and Jae Youn Ryu, we were greeted to the beautiful mix of a brightening horizon and wispy fog blowing in from every direction. The fog sure made the morning shoot exciting as we waited for just the right moment when the mountain would make an appearance. In our haste we almost lost a whole set of filters, a lens, and a gitzo tripod....We were lucky to make it off the mountain in one piece!
