{"product_id":"shasta-road","title":"Shasta Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eI had seen road shots of Mount Shasta like this for a while and really wanted to get one myself. Last summer, I researched all the locations I could find and spent a whole day driving to all of them. Highway 97 was my favorite. I wanted Shasta to have snow on it, so I would wait till the fall for my first attempt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the time came, I didn't like how brown and dead the grass looked. I thought to myself, \"this shot would be better if the grass was green.\" I researched when the grass turned green, which was late April. I also talked to a photographer friend I had in the area and he said, \"it's never green, it's high desert over there. If it does, it must just be for a brief period.\" So I knew whatever window I had would be short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce April came around, I started taking a couple trips up there a month, only to be disappointed every time. Once it got to June, I started to feel like my window was closing. If I didn't get it soon, I would have to wait till the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time had come to try again, normally I stay with family in Redding, but this time I decided I would sleep in my car if the sunset wasn't good and try again for the sunrise. I got there an hour before sunset, as the sun descended, I was afraid the clouds were too thick, and lo and behold, it was another failed attempt. Eight tries in and my window was closing. I made my bed in my car and hoped the morning would provide better luck. It was a much colder night then I anticipated, and I didn't sleep that well. I woke up a little over an hour before sunrise, tired of being cold, and also my hips were sore from my sleeping pad. So I decided to just get up, sit in my car with the heater on and wait for the sun to rise. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the light became dim, I could already see a little pink. I got out of my car and walked down the road a bit, and waited to see if the color would spread out over the mountain. I was beginning to think that it was going to be too many dark clouds again. But just for a brief moment, the color filled the sky. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The colorful sky, snow covered Shasta with the alpine glow, green grass, the war was over. I finally got the shot. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scotty Tang Photo","offers":[{"title":"Canvas \/ 12x18","offer_id":49959752663317,"sku":"Canvas12x18","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 16x24","offer_id":49959752696085,"sku":"Canvas16x24","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 20x30","offer_id":49959752728853,"sku":"Canvas20x30","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 24x36","offer_id":49959752761621,"sku":"Canvas24x36","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 30x45","offer_id":49959752794389,"sku":"Canvas30x45","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ 40x60","offer_id":49959752827157,"sku":"Canvas40x60","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 12x18","offer_id":49959752859925,"sku":"Paper12x18","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 16x24","offer_id":49959752892693,"sku":"Paper16x24","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 20x30","offer_id":49959752925461,"sku":"Paper20x30","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 24x36","offer_id":49959752958229,"sku":"Paper24x36","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 30x45","offer_id":49959752990997,"sku":"Paper30x45","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Paper \/ 40x60","offer_id":49959753023765,"sku":"Paper40x60","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 12x18","offer_id":49959753056533,"sku":"Metal12x18","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 16x24","offer_id":49959753089301,"sku":"Metal16x24","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 20x30","offer_id":49959753122069,"sku":"Metal20x30","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 24x36","offer_id":49959753154837,"sku":"Metal24x36","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 30x45","offer_id":49959753187605,"sku":"Metal30x45","price":825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Metal\/Aluminum \/ 40x60","offer_id":49959753220373,"sku":"Metal40x60","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 12x18","offer_id":49959753253141,"sku":"Acrylic12x18","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 16x24","offer_id":49959753285909,"sku":"Acrylic16x24","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 20x30","offer_id":49959753318677,"sku":"Acrylic20x30","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 24x36","offer_id":49959753351445,"sku":"Acrylic24x36","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 30x45","offer_id":49959753384213,"sku":"Acrylic30x45","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Acrylic \/ 40x60","offer_id":49959753416981,"sku":"Acrylic40x60","price":1300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5649\/0005\/files\/ShastaRoadSmallSigned.png?v=1781019284","url":"https:\/\/scottytangphoto.com\/products\/shasta-road","provider":"Scotty Tang Photo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
