Farewell

Amazing shot Marc. That delicate light in the foreground, the fog and then the brilliant clouds. It does not get much better than this.

Thank you Tony.

This was, in a peculiar way, a grab shot. I staked out this spot for at least an hour before sunrise - I liked the foreground and the sweeping view. As the sun rose, things turned to mud, I got bummed, packed up and headed home for breakfast. As I  turned into my street (This hill is 5 minutes away) a sliver of bright orangey magenta appeared. So I did a quick U-turn and got up to the tripod spot in under 10 minutes, in time for this. BTW, the sky portion is shot w/ a very dark ND filter for a 30 second exposure time. I tried it both ways and I liked this streaky look best.

amazing light and colors. the composition and mood are very special as well. outstanding photo.
