Frosty Sunrise

A shot from yesterday morning up in the Austrian Alps. This shot is sort of a compromise to what I had initially planned. In the morning when I wanted to hike to my spot of choice, I found my jacket, cap and gloves looked away in a separate room and wasn't able to get them before the owners unlocked it at 7:30am. This meant that I had just 20 minutes to get to a decent spot before the peaks will be illuminated. I quickly snowshoed up the steep hill right behind the cabin and tried to get as far as possible.
This shot is stitched from 4 horizontal images. It show the highest peak of Styria (Dachstein) right in the center. I will definitely go there again this winter to get the shot I had planned initially.

Canon 5DMII, Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L@70mm, 1/13s-f/8-ISO100, Polarizer.
