At -23〫C waiting for the light isn't the most pleasant thing to do. The morning of February 4 was the coldest sunrise I have ever experienced in the Netherlands. It was also one of the most beautiful. This is a stitched panorama made up from 3 horizontal exposures at 70mm. Click on the image to see the larger version! |
The best times for nature- and landscapephotography are in the early hours of the morning, just before sunrise and the last hours of the evening, just after sunset. At these times the light is often at it's best. This is also true for wildlife photography as most wildlife is still active at these hours. I prefer getting out there as early as possible when all is quiet and still dark. Nothing beats a spectacular sunrise! For landscape photography I always make sure I am at least one hour before sunrise at my location. When the first people walking their dogs appear, it's time to call it a day!
