Midnight sun mountain scene

Midnight sun mountain scene · 05:14 PM

I saw the fog coming in from the north. Knew the mountain top would be above it. I was right. Shot exactly at midnight.

Very nice way cool shot.

Great capture!

Do you scan the slides yourself? What resolution do you scan at?

Damn Brit · 10-22-2008, 06:56 PM

Wonderful. Of course you are having a long day to be able to capture these shots.

Yes. I scan at full resolution. The file is 320mb. The posted images are around 40K! Lots of information get lost!

I have a bit of a fetish for shooting from mountain tops above the clouds. Here are two more from the same mountain but not shot on the same day or even same year. It just looks like it.
Also shot around midnight at around the 1. of July.

Wow, the colour is surely amazing. Velvia colour is just so special.

Looks like you froze your @ss off but the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Thanks for sharing.
