Grand Teton Morning

[JimFox]

A few weeks back in the Grand Tetons. After a night of star photography, the sun rose and the clouds (or vapor trails) looked cool. The ground is still in shadow.

I went for the yellow trees after Alan's recent photo, and I got into a yellow mood.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

I like this better - especially the trees in the sunlight.

Thanks! I guess I should have stood around, or gone back to shoot this once the immediate ground area got lit up, but I was packing up my other cameras from shooting the stars and sunrise.

This is neat Jim, I like the yellow trees.

You have unattended cameras all over the place, other then the recent mishap do you worry about them falling over? What precautions do you take? I ask because I plan to do the same.

Thanks Ben, the yellow is cool I think.

I don't do anything special. If I had paid attention to the wind my D810 wouldn't have fallen over as I would have just spread the legs more on that tripod. I have done it hundreds if not more times with multiple cameras up at night on tripods unattended, and that was the first time I had a problem.

Nice contrast between warm upper half of the scene and the snow on the ground in the shade. Have you considered brightening up the ground a bit to make it whiter? The light on the distant trees is pretty nice.

The lone tree is patiently awaiting the arrival of the sun on its limbs...nice image Jim!

Thanks so much Jameel. I did already brighten it up quite a bit. I felt if I made it any brighter it wouldn’t look real since it’s in shade.

Thank you Amy!
