Classic Sunrise Photo

Photographer’s Note

Before our trip, I already knew I wanted to get a sunset or sunrise over the Serengeti. The opportunity only came once on Christmas Day. But I'm happy with the result. I hope you will enjoy it too.

A very nice variation of a classical theme. I like the way the sun is half out of the cloud, I like the colors and I like the light.

Cette image classique de l'Afrique est toujours aussi jolie, surtout lorsqu'elle est bien réalisée comme tu l'as fait. Bien cadré, bonne exposition. Bravo!

Bonjour Sebastien,
Trés beau couché de soleil sur cette savane et cet arbre est trés esthetique il a l'air un peu étiré, a première vue j'ai cru que ce n'était pas naturelle!
Bravo pour cette composition!

Amazing shot. Beautiful composition. It looks as if the sun were squashing the tree. And I just love these shadow/light contrasts. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sebastien,

a beautiful picture with good colours and composition. Very classical indeed.
The only problem is that it's rather noisy. You can solve that with neat image (free download)
I did a WS, hope you like it

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hello Sebastien!

A really nice picture, this is kind of like the first thing I think of when I think Africa, and Lion King. hehe, nice colors and nice composition. The black dots? Are they birds or just a dirty lens? Either way, that's the only thing I dislike in this picture, well done!

Regards,

Daniel

Hello Sebastien, this is a classic shot from sub-Saharan Africa. The silhouette of the tree almost defines a safari postcard and I love the way the sun appears to be sitting on top of it.

Very very nice. Is it cropped from a larger shot?

Perfect picture
It reminds me of The Lion King
I almost expect to see Mufasa coming up to the lense
Excellent composition and colors
