p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Smoke & Fire in the Valley

Yosemite, that is. Sunrise from Tunnel View, yesterday.

I made a blitz-run up there Sun night, after the kids/grand kids left ~ 9:30pm
Got there about 1:30am in the morning & napped/waited for sunrise.

Taken with the Sony A7R, FD 35mm-TSE.
With all the last minute stuff, film gear checkout, FORGOT the remote release!
So this was taken using the timer & adjusting the S/S accordingly to accomplish a bracket.

3-shot manual blend that seemed to require more alignment tweaks than normal.
No sharpenng or color adust inP/S. The sky really had those colors

Edit- w/shadows bumped

Hey Dan,

That is a cool looking sky, if you bracketed though where is the detail in the ground layer? Brighten up the ground layer and this could look really nice.

Thanks

Dan, I like the second version with the added delicate details in the shadows. I also like how you kept it real. Nice.

Second one for me too. Overall color palette is pleasing to the eye here.

Dan, how do you like the 35mm TS -lens? I could get one for quite good price locally.

Thanks for the comments. It was my 1st real sunrise capture at Yosemite.

I am pretty happy with this TSE lens. It seems to hold up to the Sony's resolution & is small/compact. Wish it was a bit wider at times, but over all a great lens.
It can also be adapted to EOS mount w/infinity focus.

Nice, Dan. I'd love to be sitting there with my Chamonix 4X5 field camera and some Portra 400.

Kenny,
Shame on me ! I had the Toyo with me & some Portra (not 400).
But wasn't setup yet so the default was digital....
