October Sunrise Photo

Photographer’s Note

I am sorry I have so few autumn colours to offer this year but so far the season has been terrible! The leaves were blown off the trees while they were still green and the weather has been hopeless in every respect.

The sky offers some colours once in a while, but the rest of the landscape stays in black and white! However the last few days we got a pleasant sunny weather, I will see what the coming weekend will bring…

As the exif shows, this scene is underexposed by -0.67 EV.

Hello, Pablo!

I find the "black and white" of the landscape really beautiful contrasting with this wonderful orange sky! That's a very beautiful sunrise, excellently captured! Well done!

JanD (14953) 2009-10-22 2:31

Howdy Pablo!
Fantastic sunrise, amazing landscape, excellent colors, good exposure and capture, very good frame.

Hello Pablo!
Wonderful sunrise with magnificent colors and lights!
Simple but effective and attractive composition!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,

Buin (37854) 2009-10-22 2:32

Good morning Pablo!
A wonderful sight - and a somehow solemn atmosphere. Here really sunlight seems to drive away darnkness - a magic process. Always again a beginning day is something special ...
Greetings from autumnal Germany!

anducina (8115) 2009-10-22 2:54

Hi Pablo,
Superb sky and low light. Those golden clouds and the snow-covered hills make a impressive compo, full of seasonal melancholy...I wouldn't mind some red and yellow foliages, yet :)
TFS,
Andreea

jhm (82793) 2009-10-22 3:20

Hello Pablo,

The autumn colours are almost disappear, this is very early in the year.
The first snow is present, I hope that Belgium long time wait for snowfall.
You shows us again your perfect quality of your picture.
Absolutely fantastic, nice composition.
Very well done, TFS.

Warmest regards,
John.

Greg1949 (8511) 2009-10-22 3:21

Pablo, wonderful golden color captured here and the pallet of colors as well as the snow make the overall frame seem very cold and clean. Great work.

Greg

hardyuno (2393) 2009-10-22 3:24

Hi Pablo,
amazing colours of this beautiful sunrise. It's probably the best time of the day.
The POv and depth and clarity are very good. Well done, TFS

Hartmut

macondo (13141) 2009-10-22 3:48

Hello Pablo.
Extraordinary sky you have captured with help of the CPL, while retaining so much detail in the shadowy landscape below. I suppose the snow lightened your under-exposure sufficiently. The tones in the sky are very suggestive of autumn colours, so no need for the foliage. It's what I would call a very moody landscape, with a great sense of space.
Regards,
Andrew

jmdias (19489) 2009-10-22 3:49

nice view of these soft colors, that golden at left is fantastic. nice and simple shapes.
well done

belido (16637) 2009-10-22 4:26

Hi Pablo,

very nice effect you have caught in this sunrise. It's quite minimalistic and very well presented. I wonder if I will wake up earlier for such great light moment someday. Wonderful presentation!
Regards,
Carlos

leonorkuhn (13655) 2009-10-22 4:33

Hi Pablo,

Beautiful image of the sun dawning on the snowy mountain. The golden tones in sky creates a good contrast with the discreet silver covering the mountain. Great composition.

Have a nice day
Leonor

Photograph2u (587) 2009-10-22 4:34

The light is beautiful Pablo and nice round shape of the mountain.

Dashab (1001) 2009-10-22 4:38

Hello Pablo,
These colours are great, painting the crest of the hill with the promise of a new day! I understand your disappointment at not having any golden leaves to photograph, but your golden sky is probably more magical. If it is of any consolation to you, our Indian Summer was also cut short by an unseasonal dupm of snow - it is gone now, but the coldness remained. Warm greetings from the Czech Republic, Dasha

pierrefonds (26423) 2009-10-22 5:07

Hi Pablo,

The light of the sunrise is giving nice colors to the sky and some shadows to the trees. The point of view takes my eyes toward the mountain which is giving depth to the composition. The reflection of the light on the snow is enhancing the colors of the sky. Have a nice day.

Pierre

jplebrun (17120) 2009-10-22 5:43

Bonjour Pablo
moi non plus je n'ai pas de photos couleurs de l'automne à présenté et je dois me replier sur des photos de vacances et de mon environnement, celle que tu présentes est très d'actualité, la neige qui commence à nous tomber dessus avec presque deux mois d'avance, et on nous dis ue la terre se réchauffe........
Amitiés

Hello Pablo,
Your early rise was well rewarded with this view of the sky turning red above the wide wooded landfscape.

Paul

Urs (2990) 2009-10-22 7:17

Dear Pablo

What a moody sunrise as if the sun is lazy to wake up, or as a message, that soon the nights will be very long and the days very short, almost turning into night. It's a bit melancholic but I like it. Well done

Best regards
Urs

foozi (4731) 2009-10-22 7:36

Hi Pablo,

Amazing misture of clouds with the majestous sun arriving. Soon the mountain will be brighter and warmer. Apparently the mountain seems bleak but I think to see a lot of houses. Regards. Domingos

phwall (5662) 2009-10-22 15:30

Hi Pablo,
The Autumn colours might have escaped you this year but you've more than made up for it with this picturesque image.
It's a beautiful shot, the sky is superb.
Very nice work.

En himmel så vakkert og dramatisk landskap fylt med farge det svart og hvitt.
Excellent perspektiv og detaljer.

AROBN54 (10783) 2009-10-22 20:38

Oh, Pablo....
this is what you had on the ELEVENTH of October?? We were still getting 80+(f) temperatures. Shoot - may still for that matter, LOL. That looks SOOO cold. Even the warm colors look cold. Brrrr. You did an unbelievable job of conveying a feeling. What an awesome shot. Many thanks and great respect,
Shelly

wolf38 (12897) 2009-10-22 23:32

Hello Pablo. An interesting photograph. It shows the beginning of winter in the northern latitudes. Now again comes the dark season, in which people yearn for light and wait for spring next year. Overall, an impressive photo. Best regards, Wolfgang.

janneman (1216) 2009-10-22 23:35

I think the underexposure gives some magic to the light.
Th softness is supperb!

JCG (25489) 2009-10-22 23:42

Hello Pablo,

Very beautiful contrasts of colors in the sky, harmonizing itself agreeably with these snow-covered tops. Privileged moment of the morning that I appreciate particularly too. Pretty and peaceful panorama, thank you Pablo.

With all my friendships and a very good day,

Jean-Charles

vasilpro (8948) 2009-10-23 0:19

Hello Pablo,
Magnificent composition with a very nice atmosphere and lovely colors. A beautiful sunrise with a very nice cloudy sky.
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

jusninasirun (10211) 2009-10-23 0:23

Hi Pablo: Sorry about your autumn this year that you found it to be worst in years. I can see that you still can make excellent pictures despite of the weather. You have a very good land/sky division here in exposing the sky during sunrise. The slightly UE kept the exposure on the white hill intact and beautiful framing in this shot. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

mauro61 (15852) 2009-10-23 0:51

ciao Pablo,
bella immagine sulla collina innevata con delle splendide luci di un tramonto dorato sullo sfondo.
saluti
maurizio

Longroute (9503) 2009-10-23 1:06

The silhuette of the hill divides the photogram in 1/3 giving a deserving room to the interesting sky and creating a balanced composition. It's a strange photo, the contrast between the cold dark and snowy hill and the golden down is very strong and creates a peculiar atmosphere. It looks like a painting rather than a photo. Now I understand the colours of some Northern painters of the past... I seem to see the Valkyries riding in that sky! And watch out for the hammer of Thor!

Have a nice (and not too cold) weekend,
Donato

Giorgio (8730) 2009-10-23 4:38

- Superb landscape with this snowy hill Pablo, amazing color and light of sunrise, sometimes one minute earlier or later and the magic is gone, you shoot just at the right time, well done!
Have a nice weekend.

ChrisJ (70335) 2009-10-23 9:03

Good warm cold colour contrasts, between the orange tinted skies, & blue grey, snowcapped mountains. Excellent sharpness. Tfs!

Hei Pablo,

A mountain I believe we might havs seen before, but we have not seen this magnificent and spectacular sunrise before. Excellent capture. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Ulf

stego (22374) 2009-10-23 12:36

Hi Pablo,
A landscape that its beautiful for its simplicity and smooth shapes, an amazing light and sky very well captured, a minimalist compo that is the most appropriate to the subject. I like it very much. It always amazes me to see sunrises and sunsets in snowy landscapes, specially if they keep much of the natural blue, like here, because the oranges suggest warmth and the white and blues suggest cold.
Regards,
José

plimrn (19688) 2009-10-23 20:25

Hi Pablo,
Your clouds make a great reflective surface for the morning colors. I love the way the colors seem to leak out of the sky along the edge of the gently curving mountain.
HLJ, Pat

Graal (58209) 2009-10-23 23:17

Hi Pablo,
nice landscape and glance on the hill. Pleasant morning sky. Good shot. I like it.
Gr., Aleksander

Vasa (5778) 2009-10-24 1:13

A little yellow is the hope that the winter could be supportable. In Norway each apparition of the sun is welcome. In Serbia too. Nice atmosphere, Pablo. Warm regards,

Branko

Uhu (7396) 2009-10-24 2:05

Oh yes, this season seems to be the forewarning about harsh winter. We'll see, what it'll be, though.
Great, simply great photo - it depicts a cold and unfriendly nature of Nordic oncoming winter very good!

subhendu_bagchi (3247) 2009-10-24 4:06

Hi Pablo,
a nicely composed presented here with nice POV. Nice light. Colours are superb. Great shot. Tfs.

ellelloo (4829) 2009-10-24 8:40

Hello Pablo,
You have caught the early morning sky in a wonderful way here. A very atmospheric scene! The sun rays are nicely glowing around the mountain top. A simple, but effective composition. Even that no fall colours available in the trees, the sky has them. Excellent!
Best regards,
Lasse

wgreis (6064) 2009-10-24 11:06

Pablo,
wonderful sky with a beautiful palette.
The white mountain is great too.

AKITA (5425) 2009-10-24 17:53

dear Pablo,
wow, fantastic orange sky,
and this mild and tender feeling of snowy round mountain is superb.
in this season, the white area is becoming large and down the foot from the top, week by week, in your land and here too, it is very interesting.
and I like this cool(cold) air in the autumn morning.
thank you,
Akihisa

emjleclercq (14370) 2009-10-24 23:43

Yes, with the snow the picture looks as if Winter has already arrived in Norway. But the yellow sky makes for an interesting picture.

All the best,

Emmanuel

darek1978 (11367) 2009-10-25 8:58

Hi Pablo,
What marvelous snowy landscape! I love it. The distant hill looks superb against the burning, morning sky. Very pleasant view- it reminds me of shots from Poland, where I grew up. Well done!
Thanks for sharing,
Darek

Angshu (33863) 2009-10-25 20:50

Hello Pablo
Yes, as you rightly said, the landscape per-se is in duotones, with the sky offering some nice colours. Like the gradation of colours from the left to right. Despite shooting into light, the details in the shadows have been well brought out. Well done!
Regards
Angshu

excellent photo work and a wonderful composition with a fantastic atmosphere created by the low light and these beautiful winter colors. This mood is more fascinating than the "usual" autumnal ! My compliments!

jimkil (618) 2009-10-27 2:25

Hello Pablo
Golden tones and light look superb here with awesome cloud formations which may give the impression of summer but then the snow at the peak gives the cold feeling.
Well done

Bonjour Pablo.
C'est déjà une photo d'hiver de chez toi alors qu'ici on a des tons d'automne dans tout le pays. Cette photo est néanmoins très belle avec la montagne qui fait le gros dos sous la neige et dessous un très beau ciel.
Amicalement
Jacques

josepmarin (33839) 2009-10-27 10:32

Hi Pablo,
It seems that the winter has come to your country. The colors in the sky and in the clouds have a nice contrast with the hills covered with snow and the almost black trees.
The aperture priority program has given you a high shot speed, but the underexposure that you have forced with-0.67 EV has a good result in the composition, with a dramatic touch.
Nice work.
Best regards,
Josep

Waylim (10923) 2009-10-27 13:37

Very beautiful Sunrise color, a nice combination of warm gold and blue and a nice contrast with the ice cold of the snow capped mountain. Minimalist composition, I like the openess of the area. I might have said it before, but I feel it need an achor point to draw us in, like a silhouetter of larger tree or a house or something in the foreground or middle to draw our attention. Beautiful color and light regardless.

Jonathan_Tree (4355) 2009-10-27 15:35

Wonderful landscape, wonderful panorama. Good long perspective. Spectacular shot.

Hi Pablo,
Splendid beginning to this cold Oct. day.
Love the golden clouds looming over the treeless topp of this snow covered mountain that makes up for the lack of autumn color.
It looks like winter has already come to Norway.

Already images of covered with snow landscape, the autumn advances quickly in Norway. This sunrise is a true painting whose colors cold of the shade are heated by the sky gilded by the sun. Very good balance of the image. Cheer.

Hi Pablo,
The yellow tones of the sky please me very much as well as the fluffy clouds. It creates a particuliar atmosphere. The light cover of snow makes the hill more evident. Excellent point of view and contrasts. Cheers Pablo!
