Sunrise Column

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 25, 2013144 views3 comments

I've never seen a column of light like this one, before the sun broke the horizon. Taken at Gray Lodge Bird Refuge in Northern California last week. The birds hadn't gotten up yet!

Canon 5d, M3, ISO 800, 105mm, f/13, 1/320 sec.

Thanks in advance for any comments and critques.

This is absolutely wonderful. Great color, interesting light and clouds and just enough land to ground the image

Sweet--a nice sun pillar! Fairly common especially in winter--you can see a couple examples if you look at my recent M&N posts

I also discuss it in my recent ebook

Real nice sky here!

Beautiful light and color. You've captured the sun pillar quite well. The silhouetted foreground works well to simplify the scene. Nice capture!!
