Sunrise at Nam Nawby *palmbook

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

Sunrise at the Phu Koh observation point, Nam Naw national park, Phetchaboon, Thailand. It was the first day that I see morning fog. While the fog was much less than expected from other people who were also there, I think the amount is just right.

My other deviations:

Thank you so much

I have just posted a new photo. You might like it too

Wow this is magical!
Did you use a wide angle lens or did you shoot many pictures and made a panorama out of it?
Oh and if I may ask: how did you get the colors to pop? When I try to photograph sunrises/sunsets the photo always looks like all color was drained from it. :/
Anyway this is amazing!

A little tip for sunrise/sunset

The sky will be bright red only before the sunrise and after the sunset (twilight)

It will be red at only one direction too: East for sunrise and West for sunset.

For sunrise, I'm always at the spot before the first light (not the sunrise, but the start of twilight) i.e. in the total darkness. For sunset, I always pack up after all the light disappears i.e. in the total darkness too.

Oh thank you so much for these tips! I didn't know that the colors were brightest directly before/after the sun rises/sets.
And it's always great if there are clouds and or fog to break the light into it's different colors, isn't it? So you need some luck as well

*palmbook Mar 18, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Yes, it usually works best with clouds.

Good luck

thank you

You might be surprised at the answer

No, it's not wide angle or stitched. I used 35mm on a DX camera (50mm equivalent). Then I cropped top and bottom of the photo out.

And I actually had to decrease the saturation. After adjusting exposure and contrast, color saturation was too high. The sky was burning red. I didn't have to do anything to get that bright red color. For the foreground, all I did was choosing fluorescence white balance to get that purple tint.

Try playing around with white balance for the sunset/sunrise shot. I mostly shoot on fluorescence setting.
