Photo: Last rays at the Midi d'Ossau peak. Pyrenees.

Midi d'Ossau

It was a perfect day for hiking. We (@yidneth and I) went to the Pyrenees. I was expecting a lot of people there but maybe because it was already late, the place was empty. All for us! :P. But I wanted to capture the latest rays of light in this famous peak and the reflection. That was the only cloud I remember to see in the entire day and it came in time for the photo :) It is not the highest mountain in the Pyrenees, but it is certainly a very loved one. It has a grand unmistakable shape and it is surrounded by tarns like this one.

After the sun went out, we started to go down in a new Moon cloudless night full of millions of stars. One of my best days in 2017. (2017-10-14)

Such a beautiful setting. I would love to spend some time in the Pyrenees. What was the exposure length for this shot?

Yes! come to the Pyrenees! I live close and still have a lot to discover. :)
Thanks for asking about the exposure... because I struggled a bit with the water.
Exposure was exactly 1 second. I also made another one at 1/13, and matched exposure. Here it is. What do you think?

I like both but sometimes you have to choose one. I think it was the distorted reflection of the peak, what didn't convince me in this one, but I would love your opinion. The good thing about landscape photography is that it gives you time to experiment with different settings. :)

Thank you!

Amazing shot
