I recalled months ago, looking westward at the tip of the Sierra’s in the morning twilight waiting for the eastern sun to rise up from behind the mountains to my back, which then lite up the Sierra’s peak tops with a unfamiliar pink/purple hue on a grey/brown snow.
This morning, the weather has been calm and warm for a few days, and the sun’s movements from behind Mount Brodie sent out a similar pink/magenta color, faintly similar, but uniquely east coast. I’ve been using this easy access but isolated pond beneath Brodie to settle on some Image techniques with shutter, polarizer, split grads, and f/stop.
After, a few thoughtful realizations about how polarizers rob 1 stop of light, I finally was able to set up this exposure correctly. I took my spot meter reading at the sky above the sun rise and set and locked my exposure. I then opened up the exposure by 2.5 stop, then used my .9 ND grad, and took the Image at f/16 for 1/2 sec
