Dawn at Vinales Photo

Photographer’s Note

One of a series of pictures taken between 30 minutes before dawn to 30 minutes after. The colours varied tremendously from deep blue to orange until the sun had risen when the vibrant greens became the predominant colour. A tripod was essential for these photos.

Wow, essa imagem e de tirar o folego!!!. Esse tom de purpura e espetacular. As gradientes de cores e sombras evidenciando a distancia e belissimo.
Otima composição Colin

Wonderful scenery Colin, the colours and the light are fantastic! The silhouettes of the trees emerging through the fog and the different levels of forest gradually fading in the mist are stunning. Well done!!!

Beautiful! the colours, levels of background mist .... I love it.

i like the colors too but i think that's by far not the strongest feature of this photo (this would work in orange, red sepia or yellow). it's the shadows, the contours, the sky, the mist, and the landscape itself. another one that just goes to show that the early bird....

beautifully captured colin! perhaps just a bit too much black in the bottom for me.

Colors variations cropped and separated by the threes are wonderful.

How did I miss this one first time round? The colours and silhouettes are spectacular. I must get a plane ticket to Cuba!

I put you as one of my "favorite" photographers since I love your work. "Dawn at Vinales" is another awesome photo. It is amazing how you are there at the right tome to capture those mists and that color.
