During this trip, I turned onto Hwy 168 to head to the White Mountains to explore this area. In winter months, one can only drive the White Mountain Road up to the entrance to Bristlecone Ancient Pine Forest as the road above this point is not cleared from snow.
As I drove the road up as far as I could, navigating the occasional patch of snow, the higher I got in elevation, the clearer it became that the mountain range was certainly worth capturing in its entirety.
Using my high quality 300mm telephoto lens, I captured this ultra-wide VAST photo, one of the highest resolution photos ever created of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Converted to black & white, the image shows the mountain relief and texture in its full detail – a perfect subject for a VAST photo.
VAST photos are the highest resolution photographs ever made.

VAST Prints are fine art photographic paper prints that arrive ready to be mounted and/or framed. They are created using the sharpest photographic printer in commercial use: a very rare specialty printer that formerly printed military surveillance imagery. Learn more
Every VAST Print has two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one affixed to the print and one standalone. Additionally, each print is assigned a unique serial number via a permanent hologram seal and recorded in our registry.
