    Congrats Tim Rucci!!! Landscape IOTW 8/20/2010

    "Denali Sunrise"

    This is probably my favorite landscape image from my recent Alaska trip. I admit I have to back-peddle a little here, because I wrote earlier on 8/14 that I liked the colors best an a different shot I posted from this same spot, just prior to sunrise. As the sun rises the light hits the top of the mountain and extends downward until the entire mountain is illuminated. All the time the colors of the sky are changing, and the sky loses its color as the scene brightens. So there are lots of different looks in just a few mintues. I like this one because the sky still has good color even though the mountain is partially lit. I shot it at -2/3 and I feel that helped with the sky. After looking at many images from that morning, I think this is the best one.

    I appreciate the comments on the prior image and I admit I should have used my tripod as several suggested. I actually did have it with me, but did not have a proper plate to mount the camera. In hindsight I could have removed the plate from my 500 f4 and made that work, but I had not thought of it. I was fortunate to get away with it on this occasion.

    Details: Canon 40d, 17-40L lens, 1/60 at f5, (-2/3 EV), iso 400, hand-held
