Sunrise at Passo Giau, Dolomites

[Vieri]

I just finished to process my 2019 pictures from my beloved Dolomites, and I decided to start sharing images with one of my favourite locations there. This is Passo Giau, a truly inspiring place offering many different compositions, photographed here at sunrise. 2.5 seconds exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad 21mm & my Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

This looks like an inspiring location. I really like the rocks in the foreground with that lichen, it's some sweet detail that adds to this a lot.

Excellent all round.

Wonderful composition, Vieri. That lichen covered rock is an exquisite foreground. I also like the matching colors throughout the image.

Beautiful light with a stunning backdrop. Nicely done Vieri.

Lovely image Vieri. As others have noted, the foreground rock provides a great near focal point with colors matching the light in the sky.

The color palette here is to die for. I love the rock like others, but the rest of the image is just amazing..

Thank you very much Bob, glad you enjoyed it! Well, choosing a favourite spot in the Dolomites is very difficult - the whole mountain range is so amazing - but I really like Passo Giau, the shape of the mountain and its setting, combined with the light which works well both at sunrise and sunset, make for a truly beautiful location!
