Brigadoon
LARGER VIEW FOR THE BEST RESULT FOLKS!
THE SUBJECT:
As a springtime dawn breaks behind me, the faint light of dawn and a few of the sun’s rays begin to illuminate the valley and lift the mist reminding me of the fable of Brigadoon.
THE LOCATION:
This landscape photograph was made from the lookout at the Mount Seaview turn-off along the Oxley Highway west of Long Flat, NSW, Australia.
THE MAKING OF ‘Brigadoon’:
Six of us from the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club, in two 4WD vehicles set out at 5am in time to greet this sunrise on our way on a day trip to The Cells State Conservation Area and the old gold mine there.
Canon EOS D60 & Canon 28-135 IR Lens: RAW, f/5.6 @ 1/180sec, 90mm, -1EV, ISO100, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.
Visit the Play Misty for Me collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more foggy photographs.

G’donya DR!
If your sunrise shots are too dark take the lens cap off! Glad you could make it.
Your “Great…” comment is most encouraging.
I did not have any control over the lighting but I did have full control over the exposure. 8-)
