I’ve been shooting this vista for a couple of years now, and have long wanted to get out there at sunrise. I’ve had this mental image of the sun kissing the tops of the trees in the orchard, creating a magical light that would provide a lovely contrast to the river and the sky.
I was also pretty sure it wouldn’t really be like that, and when I finally was able to get out there, it turned out the sun was coming from completely the wrong angle at this time of year. And, there wasn’t much of a sky. Or, at least an interesting sky.
Somehow, though, there was something there to shoot. It still might not be the right shot, but it didn’t turn out half bad in the end.
Rick!!! This is a gorgeous image! I love the leading line, the foreground rock, the color and the vignette. Just solid work. Way to nail it!!!
Wonderful image Rick. The detail front to back is incredible.
