Sunrise over Snowy Mountain Photo

Photographer’s Note

The situation this morning, as the sun is about to rise over the freshly fallen snow…

This summit we see is around 1000 m and the snow will most likely disappear in a few days, but still! This is the winter’s first warning, saying I’m just around the corner…

By the way, this is the worst autumn I can remember for ages, weather wise. Today temperature is 4 C with an annoying Eastern wind, probably coming from somewhere in Siberia!

Hi Pablo,

The sunrise is giving nice colors to the sky, to the snow and a set of shadows to the forest. The point of view takes our eyes toward the top of the mountains which is giving depth to the composition. A mountains scenery is giving a tranquillity effect. have a nice day.

Hello Pablo,
Very nice composition of a sunrise with excellent color tones on the sky.
Have a nice WE, Vasilis.

feather (49872) 2009-10-03 7:56

You have snow already!!? We have had an Indian Summer with an exceptional September. Only now is autumn feeling its way in.
The subtle sunrise colours are beautiful and make a surprising contrast with the snow.

pablo

nice view of the minimalis landscape, simple colors and shapes.
here we can feel how the winters are becoming hotter (this year was something hard), there are so many storms and a mix of droughts and floods. Frosts were more usual when I was a boy, nowadays this isn't so frequent.

Hi Pablo,
This is obviously the picture I have been waiting for; Snow! Also a very beautiful sunrise over the mountains, a very appropriate photo!
Kind regards
Gunnar

AKITA (5437) 2009-10-03 15:06

dear Pablo,
this delicate pink and orange colors in the sky are touching,
and white snow on the mountain looks so quiet,
those two layers are well contrasted with lower dark foot of mountain.
the pale shining sky at sunrise time shows us, always beginning of the nice day and refreshing mind of the nature.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

jusninasirun (10211) 2009-10-03 18:16

Hi Pablo,

I like the simplicity of this shot. The sky is so vibrant and you have created a very good land/sky division and the contrasting colors making this an attractive shot.

Thanks for sharing and best regards.
Jusni

gervaso (5386) 2009-10-03 20:52

Hello, Pablo!

If the autumn is not that good, at least it was worth for this wonderful picture, with wonderful colors and excellent contrast between the reddish sky and the snow! Beautiful composition! Well done!

bakes888 (18257) 2009-10-04 0:16

Hi Pablo. Sounds like our spring is a little like you autumn, the coldest I can remember for some time, two cold snaps in about three weeks! Nice catch, wonderful subtle colours in the sky and good sharp detail on the land. Good work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good Sunday, Paul.

wgreis (6080) 2009-10-04 5:15

Pablo,
a minimalist frame, with not much colors, but very attractive.
The sky is great and the snow among the mountain and the trees exposes the cold weather.
Have a nice Sunday.
Wagner.

s_lush (2312) 2009-10-04 8:46

Hello Pablo,
I like the gentle colors of this sky. The composition with dark forest and lighter snow-covered mountains is very good. Very romantic shot!
Best regards,
Sergiy

TravelerNL (2967) 2009-10-04 10:46

Hi Pablo,
I don't know if this is very early snow or not? The sky has beautiful orange colors due to sunrise in the otherwise black & white photo.
Thanks for sharing,
Harko

plimrn (19688) 2009-10-04 12:07

Hi Pablo,
What a lovely sky; the bright cloud layers are nicely grounded by the snowy mountain. It's snowing like crazy here now and we're working to get all of our fall projects completed. It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow so it will probably melt before I get pictures. I should have taken them yesterday when the light was wonderful but I was task oriented. Now I'm sorry.
HLJ, Pat

Charo (31677) 2009-10-04 18:33

Hallo Pablo,
På denne måten fortsatt nyte sommeren i de fleste regioner i Spania, med temperaturer går fra 30 ° C. Her Høsten er vanligvis en forlengelse av sommeren, men jeg ser at i Norge, er begynnelsen på vinteren.
Wonderful kontrast av snøen i skyggen med den vakre fargen på himmelen.
Hilsen,
Charo

yedirenk (7457) 2009-10-04 18:57

Hi dear Pablo,

gunbud (27991) 2009-10-04 19:13

Hi Pablo,
Splendid pink and blue sky seen above this mountain that is treeless at the top.
Early for snow but not unusual at this elevation.
I was in the Adirondacks Mountains of NY state last week and they had a bit of snow too.
Regards, Tom

carper (65234) 2009-10-04 23:28

very beautiful Pablo,

Giorgio (8730) 2009-10-05 2:37

- Beautiful spectacle at this hour Pablo, sometimes a minute or two earlier or later and the magic disappeared, here you have shot at the right time and kept this amazing sky, well done!
All the best.
giorgio

barrufeto_77 (25869) 2009-10-05 2:57

Hi Pablo.

Excellent soft colours of the sky contrasted with the mountain.

Well done!

Urs (3024) 2009-10-05 3:15

Dear Pablo

That's a strange sunrise e.g. the FG is strange not the sunrise itself. I have seen a lot of snow when I was younger, but such a scenery I have never seen. It's strange but adds a special flavor to your photograph, it makes it outstanding. In particular the contrasts are very bold. Well done

best regards
Urs

jhm (82879) 2009-10-05 3:15

Hello Pablo,

This is the first snow in your country, the winter is coming best friend!
The pink colours to the sky is very nice for look at.
Very well composition and soft colours, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

anducina (8119) 2009-10-05 4:09

Hi Pablo,
It seems that winter is in a great hurry there in Norway ! Brautiful combination of white, snow-covered hills and pink sky, impressive light... But personally I think I prefer a more classical autumn-I'm not a great winter fan.
TFS,
Andreea

belido (16647) 2009-10-05 4:20

Hi Pablo,

it's a beautiful moment and there you were for this well composed photo. The soft light in its pastel tones for the sky makes the image reading a lot pleasant. Simplicity has its power as you well show here. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

BeBeHooker (5760) 2009-10-05 4:32

Hi Pablo!
Minimalistic shot. Very interesting landscape. Wonderful sunrise. Amazing colors. Good capture. Nice frame.
Cheers!

subhendu_bagchi (3281) 2009-10-05 6:16

Hi Pablo,
great colour contrast, it looks almost black and white in lower and coloured in upper half. The snow looks great with the soft light. It seems from this shot as there is fire in snow. Very well done. Tfs.
Have a nice week.

What a nice photo,i especially like the colour of the sky.

Nice shot,congrats

Anna

Waylim (10933) 2009-10-05 11:53

Hi Pablo,
Very beautiful warm sunset color contrasting with the ice cold of the snow capped mountain. Minimalist composition, I like the openess of the area, it feel free and uncluttered. Though I feel it need a little point of interest to anchor our vision, like a larger tree or a house or something to draw our attention. Beautiful color and light regardless.
Way

alvaraalto (5245) 2009-10-05 14:06

Hi Pablo,

Bad weather condition, but excellent picturesque condition, especially when you rises early.
Beautiful work and maybe the weather will change and bring some Indian summer.

Groet Rob

ChrisJ (70351) 2009-10-05 22:00

Hi Pablo

A marvellous sunrise, with good sharpness, & striking warm cold color contrasts, between the blue & pink. Tfs!

josepmarin (33861) 2009-10-06 3:57

Hi Pablo,
A few fantastic pink tones in the sky in this sunrise, with a nice contrast with the mountain covered with snow and the dark forest.
I see that the season of snowfalls already has begun this year.
Is a beautiful image.
Best regards,
Josep

berek (28937) 2009-10-06 9:49

Angshu (33877) 2009-10-06 20:45

Hello Pablo
Worst autumn in the sense, too cold or too hot? I see this is a fresh of the camera photo and I see quite a good amount of snow already! But its the colour of sunrise over the hill, which is delightful. Well done!
Regards
Angshu

wolf38 (12929) 2009-10-06 23:25

Hello Pablo. Snow. Cold. A recent photo of the season. Winter is here again. Really very beautiful and impressive. Here in Germany the temperatures are still very pleasant. Maybe we'll get a nice and sunny October. Best regards, Wolfgang.

AiresSantos (42440) 2009-10-07 1:20

ciakgiak (10912) 2009-10-07 3:16

Hello Pablo,
what a spectacular mountainscape, I like the different tones of the snowy mountain and that of the sky.
The colours are really amazing and the composition is very pleasant looking at!
Friendly regards.

mauro61 (15948) 2009-10-07 3:46

ciao Pablo,
un'alba rosata spettacolare su queste montagne innevate.
Belle le tonalità e la divisione fra cielo e terra all'interno dello scatto
buona giornata

very nice landscape and atmosphere on the begin of autumn. I like the lines of colours and amazing snow on the hill. Good photojob.

celmaleite (2774) 2009-10-07 7:11

Olá, Pablo!
Show de cores, composição caprichada, contrastes fantásticos! Parabéns, belíssimo trabalho!

Philippe (11779) 2009-10-07 8:17

Hi, Pablo. You've found very nice pastel colours in the sky. They contrast well with the snow, just as the dark trees do in the bottom of the image. I like the three very different parts you have in your picture which illustrate the composition in thirds very well.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

lucasgalodoido (16605) 2009-10-07 8:53

Hi Pablo,
the first snow of the year i can see it in your photo! Beautiful the colour tints of the sky from the rising sun,as the freshly fallen snow on the Mt.

Have a nice day,Danos

rodgerg (24463) 2009-10-08 5:36

Hello Pablo,

A very nice and too very impressive sunrise. I like the composition in three plans well delimited: black FG, the very good contrasted mountain's top and the coloured sky very well collecetd. This composition is very well balalnced and give too a very plesant graphic effect.
Best regards,
Roger

ktanska (16641) 2009-10-09 1:50

Hi Pablo,
Well working colour contrast between cool snow and warm tones of morning sky. Shows well how new snow adds light to darkening autumn days.
I heard in the news that Lapland already has quite a lot of it.
Kari

fanni (8737) 2009-10-09 2:08

Hello Pablo,
looks like Norway is the country where you can just stand on the same place, turn around and take loads of interesting picturesque landscape shots! I surely must visit Norway one day!
I like this combination of colours - the warm bright flames of the sky and the cold snowy land with mountains... there's nothing around but Nature with all its pure colours.
Warm regards
and wishes of a good weekend!
Elena

JCG (25531) 2009-10-09 3:57

Hello Pablo,

A sunrise which resembles a northern light almost !!! Pretty the constraste with the snow-covered tops. For the moment with regard to the cold here in Versailles, I do not feel it yet… The temperatures are rather soft for the moment… Interesting for the savings in electricity !!! Thank you for this pleasant morning panorama.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

jafadabret (39923) 2009-10-09 4:18

Bonjour Pablo.
Cette photo tient de l'étrange avec les couleurs du ciel, la neige sur la montagne et le premier plan sombre de la forêt.
L'hiver serait-il en avance ??
Amicalement
Jacques

leonorkuhn (13751) 2009-10-09 8:58

Hi Pablo,

Amazing colors of Norway! The warm colors of the sky in shades of pink, yellow and orange does a nice contrast with the snowy mountain. Great composition!

Greetings
Leonor

jimkil (618) 2009-10-09 22:28

Kia Ora Pablo
The colours contrast well against the snow and the dark fg and it does seem early for the winter to be coming. But if it produces sunrises like that then I'd be happy ;-)
Cheers and regards
Jim

Kielia (8607) 2009-10-11 9:57

Hi Pablo,
very beautiful atmosphere of the morning. The light is really pleasant and the colors are very attractive. But to have the winter just around the corner is a terrible thing. Hopefully you will show up with many interesting winter scenes without the harsh Siberian wind!
Warm regards
Harriet

shevchenko (9976) 2009-10-11 20:13

Hi Pablo,
The autumn is too short and the winter arrive too early, although the mountain already in the color of winter, but the splendid sky still in the color of autumn, thanks for sharing an impressive view.

Hello Pablo

Thanks for sharing this wonderful sunrise. The colours and the contrasts between the wood, snowy mountain and the skies are so nice. I like the composition were the lines of of the red-coloured skies are following the lines of the trees in the lower part of the picture.

denisn72 (7025) 2009-10-13 17:09

Hi Pablo,
Simple but nice. An interesting contrast between the white snowy mountain, the red sky and the black trees in the foreground. The lines in the sky made by the clouds and the light are great. Good work!
Best regards
Denis!

skippy007 (7201) 2009-10-14 5:12

Hello Pablo, It also feels like winter in Melbourne at the moment, several weeks ago the temp was 30C but the last week or so it has been approx 16C, I suppose I should not be complaining, relatively warm when compared with yours. Nice sunrise with beautifully coloured sky.
Regards
Santo

molla (6885) 2009-10-16 3:12

Pablo

Sometimes, even though it's cold, dark and alone I long so much up to the landscape even during this time of year.
Can someone explain it?
Maybe this picture can give a part of the answer.
Thanks Pablo for a very atmospheric reflection of the central Scandinavian mountains
