Sunrise on the Alpes Photo

Photographer’s Note

This will be my first posting on this web site.
I took this picture from the plane early in the morning (really early!) and didn't retouch the colours at all. I cropped the plane wings (also beautiful with them). I love this picture for the yellow of the Sun during the sunrise, the mountains, the clouds...

Bienvenue sur Trekearth Gael. Une trés belle première photo que vous partagez ici sur ce site. J'aime beaucoup la luminosité de cette vue, la dominante des tons gris et jaunes ainsi que la façon dont vous avez cadré cette scène. Bien vu!

Belle première contribution, les couleurs sont imprésionnantes, tout comme le point de vue.

Bienvenue sur TE!

Great first shot Gael. The colors are really impressive and I especially like the effect of the sunlight on the clouds. It’s really incredible. Great shot !

Bienvenue sur TE !

An atmospheric panorama. The subtle variations in colour are particularly appealing. Welcome to TE, Gael.

That's also why airline pilots wanna be pilots and remain pilots until they die.
Great shot.
(forget about the wings, I prefer this angel view or whatever you call it)

Magical view! It's very nice how the mountains raise up through the clouds. I like very much the golden color.

Welcome Gael!
What a wonderful scala of yellows & grays. It reminds me of those mysterious Japaneses paintings on ricepaper.
The transparency is well shown and the framing after croppinf the plane wing is very well achieved... Very nice shot!

Bienvenue Gael!
Quelle merveilleuse palette de jaunes et de gris. On dirait l'une de ces mystérieuses peintures Japonaises sur papier de riz.
La transparence est bien visible et le cadrage après le "cropping" de l'aile de l'avion est bien réussi... Très bon travail!

Really nice opening shot you have here. The sunset plus the clounds make for a beautiful image. The tops of mountains close this stunning composition. Very well done!

Très jolie vue Gael, et bienvenue sur TE

Well, so many coments already but i had to justify the two points i'm giving, but the photo really worths it! The panoramic format is very good choice. The fog between all the peaks of the mountains, make it really interesting. Like a kind of suspended magical floor. And the yellow colors on the background over the main mountains, give this photo real special touch! Well seen and welcome to TE!

This is a breathtaking view. You have captured the colours extremely well, and even without any post processing. Very well done.

Bonjour Gael
Quel regal avec ces couleurs douces estompées par la brume...
J'aurais bien aimé découvrir la version avec l'aile de l'avion...

Hi Gael, Very fine early morning image from over the Alps. The ratio of mountains to clouds and sun are well balanced giving a wonderful feeling when seeing this photograph. Colours are excellent. TFS. Murray.
