I just stumbled upon this thread, so I have a fair few sunrise/set pics
In December I spontaneously decided to drive to Big Sur in California to see the sunrise. I left my house at 12am and 4 hours later, arrived to sleep in my car for a couple hours. I have a bunch of pics pre sunrise but those don't count for this thread. This image is actually a panorama, which created a large file. I had to drastically compress it just to upload.
Also in December, I spontaneously wanted to drive to Joshua Tree California to see the Milky Way. This photo was taken between 1 and 2am. It's not photoshopped. It looks like a sunset because the light pollution in the distance from all of the Casino's. Soon after this I sold al of my digital gear and migrated solely to film as that is what held my heart. I forgot how large my digital files were... had to compress this one too.
In Yosemite, I set up my Bronica ETRSi medium format film camera and wide angle lens in the river behind my campsite. Stacked a polarizing filter (for the glare and stones) against a soft ND grad, and waited for the right light. I forgot what film this was but I want to say it was Ektar. This was roughly a 45 second exposure. Had to compress this one as well
🤦 (
@JwRosenthal looking at this image desperately makes me want to switch to large format).
Last time it snowed I drove up to the mountains, parked safely along the road, and hiked up into the hills with my Hasselblad and tripod. Set up my filters and used FujiFilm 400H film.
