The Twilight Blues

I had this idea for shooting twilight stars and lupines for a few

weeks. Then I found myself in the most beautiful lupine field at the

base of Mt. Rainier with clear skies, so I took advantage. This is 4

exposures of various lengths, focus settings, and at two different

times of day (twilight and an hour later for the stars (shot out of

focus to increase their size)), for me this brings across the beauty

of this time of day, which would otherwise be impossible to get

across. Hope it works for you!

Perfectly exposed, very original presentation, really good work

ja, absolutely stunning, the light is perfect, and the colour....

This shot is truly worth the effort taken. Awesome colours, precise depth of field and exposure, impeccable clarity and detail further complemented by an exceptional composition. An image worthy of praise and recognition!

Gorgeous! You have captured a truly breath-taking photo! I am very impressed with this! Where did you shoot from?

 

Best regards, Pamela

 

A classy landscape, captured very strongly in the beautifull light of the twilight zone...

Thanks for posting this beautiful photo Floris. What's great about this photo is that we have all seen something like this with our own eyes but never captured on film. The scene's color and tone are a perfect balance looking completely natural as if we "the viewer" were standing right there. Other photos have star trails conveying time has past. But this photo has the feel you are there at that brief moment of last twilight. One of the most original landscapes I have seen in a while. For observation, planning and execution "OPE," I will give you a perfect score. Ry

Excellent!

A dream.

Simply stunning!!

This is great. You have outdone yourself. This image and its colors really sing. Congrats.

Thanks everyone! This was shot from one of the 'parks' on the North side of Rainier, I camped out there for a few nights, a truly spectacular place. I hope to come across more scenes where I can use this technique, though I'll be hard pressed to beat the harmony of the lupines and those other little white flowers with the stars :)

extremely well taken. great technique you've used. looks like heaven.

Love it, thanks for sharing!

WELL DONE!

Pura magia para los ojos.
