Night has broken - To be seen LARGER, please

The full moon of yesterday night has ended up to be the most exciting

photographic experience I had in a while. After an entire week of cloudy,

rainy and snowy weather, the sky couldn't choose a better moment to

break up. At 2AM I was ready for bed and just gave an eye outside and,

well, never went to sleep yesterday night!

 

This is the piece of Pianura Padana lying in front of my house,

dominated by the majestic pyramid of the Monviso. This picture

represents quite a technical achievement for me, as it's the result of a

stitching of 5 vertical frames, each of them was exposed for 100" @ f11.

I had to work hard to keep consistency in the sky. Although the wind

direction never changed during the five exposures, there was of course a

lot of overlapping between bands of clouds and clear sky.

However, as I took this picture from a place which is not more than 200

m. (600 ft) far from home, we could also say this is a fair example

of "pijama photography"...

 

Your C&C are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for your

time.

Fantastic work Paolo. The high key lighting is just right. I can't imagine living in the shadow of this majestic landscape. Congrats, you always keep cranking out such stunning photography.

mi piace molto...i colori,il rosa,i toni soffusi..molto bella...

Excellent !!. Congrats and regards.

Un notturno davvero originale, una realizzazione impeccabile.. chapeau!

i kept looking at the sky and it looked like it was moving. maybe my eyes were just playing tricks on me. really great photograph and you're lucky to live so close to such a beautiful landscape.

I like a lot the overall magenta hue, but specially of the mountains.
