First of the Front

[AlanLichty]

Another view of Friday morning's sunrise looking towards Mt. St. Helens. The weather front is just reaching St. Helens with precipitation starting to obscure the volcano's peak.

C&C always welcome.

Really captivating image Alan. Great colours and implied movement of the clouds.

What a pretty view, Alan.

Thanks Trent - I was tickled that the rain starting to fall around the peak list up along with the clouds.

What a pretty view, Alan.

Thanks Doug - I don't often get the alignment of the cloud cover and the rising sun angle to work this well so I keep my drone handy to launch off of my deck.

Quite a color show. That morning must have felt like a kid in a candy store.

Thanks Jameel - I check every morning but the cloud cover setup relative to the sunrise angle only hits the perfect combination on rare occasions at best. This was one of those days where everything lined up. I couldn't turn and shoot fast enough

Wow Alan! That's quite the display!

This seems a bit too dark, anyway to increase the brightness about 2/3rds of a stop?

Thanks Jim - I can lighten up the ground a bit but the histogram in PS shows the skies at a brightness level of 248 already (mostly in the reds) so not much room before I hit the 255 ceiling.

My drone was complaining to me about not enough light for obstacle avoidance and RTH while I was shooting this but I never use RTH and I have obstacle avoidance turned off anyway
