Bergsbotn, Senja, Norway

The most difficult bit of this particular shot of a sumptuous pink sunrise over the reflective waters of Bergsbotn was actually making my way to the water's edge which required a 50m traverse on a boulder field concealed by half a metre of crusty snow. Once there I needed to combine two graduated filters to step down the brightness of sky to sea and sea to rock with a combination of hard and soft neutral density graduated filters. The result has an ethereal beauty which matches the vision I beheld at the start of another winter day in Senja.

Please view LARGE...

Pentax 67 II , 55-100 zoom, Fujichrome Velvia, 0.45ND Hard edge graduated filter in conjunction with a 0.6ND soft edge filter the first aligned with the water/sky horizon the second aligned with the water/foreshore, f/27 at 6 Seconds.

Oh I like this very much. It's the juxtaposition of the dreaminess vs the reality. For me this is more than a pretty picture.
