Dolomites Spring Light

by Hans Kruse

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 7, 2012347 views9 comments
The picture was taken in June when preparing for a photo workshop in the Dolomites. The location is at the famous Karersee (Lago di Carezza) with the special green water. Like the previously posted picture from the autumn, there was a combination of light and clouds that only happens from time to time. In the spring (in the mountains that is) the water level is much higher than in the autumn and therefore it looks very different. The angle of the sun and the light is very different too. This was taken in the evening where the other was taken in the morning.

The picture was taken using a Canon 1Ds mkIII and a Canon 16-35 f/2.8L II lens. Post processing was done in Adobe Lightroom 4.

Those clouds sure look ominous :eek: The light is really nice, Hans! The large version is well worth a look.

Love that dark and brooding dramatic sky Hans, and that emerald water is striking. I especially love the large version!

This is really nice. Great light and reflection... and those clouds worked out great! I especially like the emerald green water. I agree with the others the large version is really worth the look. Nice work Hans.
