Alta’s Albion Basin Sunrise in Summer

When I awakened this a.m.  at five o’clock and then drove up and then hiked Albion Basin with a friend of mine, I didn’t envision the color explosion that was to happen high on the west side of Albion Basin in Alta Ski Resort in Utah.  The wildflowers have been awesome fed by a rainy season, which created some of the colors you see.  Contrary to popular opinion, the shot is made in camera with a circular polarizer, and three Singh-Ray Graduated Neutral Density filters, a 4-stop Reverse Graduated Neutral Density, a 3-stop Soft-step Graduated Neutral Density, and a 2-stop Soft Step Graduated Neutral Density.  Then just get your exposure correct, with some minor movement of the hand-held neutral densities up and down during exposure.

Enjoy.

  1. How do you avoid camera shake while moving your filters during the exposure?

    • Get the largest, most steady, rock steady tripod and head that you can find and then don’t press hard on those Singh-Rays filters. Easy does it. A little movement without pressing the things against the lens…just a whisper.
