Light on the Mountain - First and Last

[AlanLichty]

Two images of Mt. Hood showing first light in the morning and the last light at night. Both taken with a 166mm lens from my Mavic 3 Pro. Not on the same day.

C&C always welcome.

Beautiful set. Love them all. The last one for the contrast.

Thanks Ben - I thought it was a fun contrast. The first light image was taken the morning after the last light version so roughly 10 hours apart.

Interesting to see the (near) same composition in different light. The sunset one with clouds and softer light with more detail in the foreground stands out.

Thanks Jameel - the last light shot was the first night I got clouds after getting the 3 Pro. I had high hopes for the next morning and got the naked skies in the first light image.

C&C always welcome.

Two very different palettes of color. Sweet

Two very different palettes of color. Sweet

Thanks Dan - it is quite the contrast in palettes. There is a bit of wildfire smoke on the east side of the Cascades which taints the colors for the morning shot. That haze has moved closer now and my view of most of the mountains is almost gone.

Thanks for sharing these Alan, both are exceptional images—especially the first.

Thanks John - one of the few times I appreciated wildfire smoke. It was just far enough away to not obscure my view of Mt. Hood but close enough to color the sunrise.

It's nice to see the different light.

It's nice to see the different light.

Thanks Jim - I get to see the lighting contrasts all the time but decided to show off a pair taken less than 10 hours apart in this case. Especially with the new lens configuration. The 166mm on the Mavic 3 Pro yields a much nicer image than the 162mm on the M3.

Both are so nice, Alan. It takes a good photographer not to oversaturate these two images.

Thanks Doug - I like images that look like something you could actually expect to see with your own eyes.

Love them both! agree with Jim and like the second one.

Love them both! agree with Jim and like the second one.

Thanks - I agree too. I am not fond of naked skies like the first image shows. The second image was shot the night before the first one and I was hoping for more clouds.
