Martian Sunrise

About three weeks ago I snowshoed into the (closed) Peshastin Pinnacles State Park, 8 miles down the highway from Leavenworth, hoping to get some alpenglow shots on the Enchantments and Mt. Cashmere. That was a total disappointment, so I turned my camera the opposite direction to get this sunrise shot looking over the top of Martian Tower. The sky is not the greatest, and working the 3 exposures of the sun gave me fits, but you can get a feel for the country. No big deal about comments; I just thought you might want to see another scene from the snowy side of the Cascades.

Sony R1, four exposure blend (three of them just for the sun), 1/30 1/40 1/50 & 1/13 sec @ f/13, tripod, UV filter.

I think this image has good potential, but I think I would remove the overall green cast this has, and the yellow glow on that uprooting rock in the fg. It seems a bit unreal for the situation.

I think Rick is dead on, especially about the green cast. While I've had some blended shots with extreme dynamic range come together well, I've also had some that I was never happy with and can empathize.

Rick nailed it. Looks like you dropped your filter in a vat of Mountain Dew before you took the shot.

I really like the quality of the light, but agree that the color seems off. I'd expect the light to be a little warmer, and the shadows to be a little bluer.

Hmmm. I just can't see it on my work monitor, where I have internet access. Just ordered a Spyder Pro colorimeter from Colorvision. After I calibrate my monitor I won't have any more excuses!!!!
