Taken on a summer evening from Passo Giau looking towards the Gruppo del Catinaccio after a long day walking from Rifugio Lagazuoi in the Italian Dolomites.Time
This was late in the evening as the sun was was setting of after a couple of mountain grappas....!!Lighting
The sun dipped behind the mountains on the western horizon and lit up the skyEquipment
This was taken with a tripod and a Nikon D90 with a 18-300 mm lensInspiration
It is hard to not take photos all day in the Dolomites - around every corner is another spectacular view! On this particular day the sun was setting directly behind some amazing peaks and it was impossible to resist!Editing
A little sharpening and increasing the saturation slightlyIn my camera bag
A Nikon D90 with 18-300 mm lens, and a 50 mm f1.8Feedback
The tripod is always a winner when using a long zoom lens!!
