Morning Gradient

in photography •  7 years ago 

After a cold and bitter night winter camping in the mountains, we awoke to a slowly changing light. The night before we had witnessed the chaotic and unrelenting waves of the Aurora. In the morning the light faded softly in from the twilight. A minuscule crescent moon ascended past the peaks and rested lightly overhead. The deep blues of night transformed into a deep purple and then a light pink. Orange rays ushered in the coming day. The silence of the alpine landscape was punctuated by lightly crackling embers from a long evening. With tired eyes we watched, a continuous morning gradient.

Man, that shot is unreal! It's also a nice touch to include your settings. Quality work!

Thank you! I realized it would probably help newcomers with photography a little if I included them.

For sure. Keep it up! I know as a beginner photographer I'm always trying to figure out the Manual Settings, so doing that is greatly appreciated!

This is beautiful, I hope you print it huge.

The moon is such a great and yet small detail. Loving your work! :)

That was so poetic man. I felt like I was right there, your writing is phenomenal

Love this, the pastel colours are so pretty and I love how you can just see the moon!
