Doing a lot of that lately as I escape into memories of far away places, spectacular sunrises and breathtaking moments. My heart goes out to the people of Italy. My hopes and prayers are with you. Hope the darkness ends soon and healing begins. This is one from the archives, on a dreamy hike in the Dolomites.

When a single exposure comes together so beautifully. When every visual element is in harmony. How blessed are we that get to witness this magical moment.
Had shared the horizontal comp before, really liked this vertical one too.

Realize that is a strange title. But figured whatever lightens your mood is good for now.
Shooting the Kofa mountains meant reacting to light instantaneously. As the light emerged from behind the mountains it spread in an angled fashion through the landscape below. One could anticipate where the light would hit next, and moving your comps as the light changed while trying to contain your excitement and not get attacked by the Cholla was challenging to say the least. The high dynamic range, ridiculous lens flares, intermittent sun star all added to the drama but the glow on those cacti forced me to keep on shooting :)
