Half Moon’s Sun

Description

In “Half Moon’s Sun”, a low and even Sun meets the sheer face of the dome with radiant grace. The range of mountains dropping back is met with the refraction from the ray’s in the atmosphere give a real sense of depth when taking in the view and gazing down the image.

The Sun’s set upon Half Moon Dome shifts everyday throughout the year. Shaping different colors, moods, and personalities every evening upon this natural wonder.

Allowing the light to pour into the lens for an extended period of time captures all the details of the shadowed valley, while a very tight aperture keeps all of the light in check.

Using a long exposure also adds more richness to the tones and a natural softness to the lines within the image.

This makes Half Moon Dome really stand out from the rest of its environment, while the tight aperture keeps the depths of the photograph in focus.

Altogether, the timing between earth and human has given this photograph the true sensation of a painting.
