Early morning

[Marie Hass]

I was out early loving sunup. These pictures are best viewed large. They are dark on purpose. The dynamic range was awesome. I hope I did the scenes justice and you see what I saw.

The last one is especially the best in Lightbox. What I saw was how the light spilled down this little valley and illumined different spots here and there.

As soon as I made the pictures lighter, they lost all the charm. If you can show me something different?

Don't change a thing.

Good on you to present what you saw, I find it difficult to do that with lowlight shots; capturing the light is easy the hard part is getting the colors and shadows right as the eyes tend to do some editing for you. A good example of a difficult interpretation would be trees lit by streetlights, I visual green even though the real colors tend towards orange/yellow.

Thank you, Brian. It is always hard to tell how much is enough.

Thank you, Brian. It is always hard to tell how much is enough.

For you, me and most of the people here.

These images are really special, Natural light is magical here...

Your second shot in particular, at least for me, feels like you grabbed that light just as it was - it feels early in the day and I'm on that walk with you.

John, Lucky it was all natural light, but the reflected light still turned things orange yellow. I appreciated your commentary.

Marie.

Thanks Nandakumar. I thought so too.
