We arose early on the morning of July 30 to get out and into position before the sunrise. I again went to the south side of the volcanic ridge, but this time just a little below the crest to await the sunrise.
My first composition here included a little too much of the scrubby vegetation in the lower right corner of the image. So I changed the composition a little and then cropped the image more to get this out of the photograph.
One can see the light moving down the south slope and beginning to highlighting some of the rocks and vegetation in the lower left of this image.
I moved more towards the most prominent portion of the ridge to get this image.
The shot above is the best image of the morning, in my opinion.
Stay tuned for sunset and night images,
Ken
