p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Prairie Morning Sunrise


A cool summer morning sunrise with fog glowing on the prairie.
Hundreds of birds flying through the fog, over the horizon.
I drive by this scene every day. I happen to have my 85mm on my camera that day ( no wide angle ), so I shot multiple images and stitched them together to achieve a wider POV. I kept the warm / yellow white balance that was dialed in.

Camera NIKON D800E
Lens 85.0 mm f/1.4
Focal Length 85mm
Shutter Speed1/125 s
Aperture f/11
ISO/Film 100
6-8 Vertical Images Stitched





Version 1







Version 2

Matt, I really like the scene you captured there, but the lens flare is kind of bothering me in the foreground.

Hey Matt!
I love the light, and the amount of detail you've captured, i prefer the 1st image, but i find two main issues:
1.FG does not add to the image, i would consider cropping it,
2.The yellow in the center is too strong, i would tone it down, you already have a great light, fog and all the other whistles, so let it look natural...

Hey Matt,

That's a cool sunrise shot. I prefer #1 over #2, as there are lens flares along the bottom of #2. Since you shot with an 85mm, while the pano view is cool, I wonder if you have just the image from the center? I think the way the sun is breaking through those background trees is really sweet right there in the middle.

Nice imaging, Matt. I prefer the first one. The birds are great.

Aldo Leopold probably saw this scene many times in his lifetime. I actually like the darker foreground and do not think it is detracting. If provides that sense of depth (dark to light). But is the scene really all that gold and yellow? where are the greens?

I love how there almost always is an intensity in your work. Great shot as always Matt.
