Sunrise at Tunnel View

[JimFox]

From last month back in Yosemite. This is from sunrise at Tunnel View. Shooting sunrise isn't always easy there as you end up shooting into the sun and it means everything is in shadow. Typically the area between El Capitan and Half Dome always ends up with a blue cast in contrast to the warm colors of the scene. I guess it's just the way the shadow is in the valley.

All comments are welcome,

Not sure I have ever really seen a sunset image from there. That balance of cool to warm is interesting. Great water flow in the falls!

Seems like fairly reasonable light to work with in this result. Nice sunrise colors.

Looks very good to me, Jim. I love the amount of water in Bridal Veil Falls.

Thanks so much Travis! Yeah that blue/warm contrast is so different. I actually desaturated the blue so it doesn’t seem too over powering.

Sunrise is definitely harder to get because of shooting into the sun. If the clouds aren't there to help diffuse the sun the contrast in light can get pretty ugly quick.
