sunrise

All the northern coast of France is dotted with lighthouses. One of the most spectacular, for me, is the Phare de Mean Ruz (or Men Ruz). Its position, its setting and its construction are all extremely inspiring and photogenic, especially with rough seas and an explosive sky such as here. 1.4...

Manarola, in the Cinque Terre, is a truly spectacular village - especially at sunrise, when the town is asleep and its street are completely empty of people. Can't wait to be back in March! :) 6 seconds of peace with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad 21mm and my Formatt Hitech Firecrest Ultra...

While I love photographing under any weather and any conditions, some sunrises are definitely better than others. When they honour us with their presence in a place like Playa de Gueirua, in Asturias, magic happens! 20 seconds of pure joy with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and the...

The Isle of Arran features some truly unique geological features. The Fossil Sands of Corrie are among the most photogenic of these, a real photographer's playground. 3.2 seconds of exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and my trusty Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters...

The glacial lagoon at Jokulsarlon is a classic spot in Iceland, for tourists and photographers alike. And for a reason: it is just amazing to see the multi-coloured icebergs slowly and majestically leaving the lagoon heading towards the sea, where they will dissolve forever. Hasselblad X1D...

Love chasing twilight time for clouds and sunset coming through. Challenging to hold the exposure correctly here so sometimes I bracket.

After almost 8 months from my last visit, I am almost ready to go back to Iceland for about two weeks of photography there! Iceland is always beautiful, but in winter is truly amazing and I am very excited to be there again. Here's a shot from my last visit, taken at the amazing Vestrahorn...

The receding tide uncovers the landscape as the ocean shies away from these glacial erratic boulders, leaving them on dry ground for us to portray. Sunrise at Corrie, Isle of Arran, 8 seconds exposure with the Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters...

I've been trying to photograph this state park for years now, and I've never had any luck with it. It's extremely difficult to find a composition with a traditional camera because the beach is so small that you can't get far enough from the bluffs. I've always known that a drone was the answer...

I call the Isle of Arran's landscapes home. They are always familiar to me, and always new. They never disappoint, never let me down. Sure, sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate - but that's normal, and it doesn't matter: photographing the sun rising over what looks like a sculptor's work, is...

Skogafoss, here shown at sunrise, is one of the most majestic and impressive waterfalls I have ever seen and photographed. 8 seconds exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, my Hasselblad XCD 30mm and my Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

The iconic sunrise view from above Vernazza, in Cinque Terre, is definitely spectacular. However, I never really liked the classic view with the tower touching the mountain across, which pretty much kills the composition for me. So, I found my own spot, from where the tower is detached from the...

Vestrahorn, in Iceland, is a truly amazing place. A classic, I know, but a classic I am never tired to photograph, like here on a very cold March sunrise. 13 seconds with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and my Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards...

So, again I've been trying to keep up with the forum, with the editing and with controlling the amount of space on my MacBook. Recently I've taken to hiking, my better half has always had such a love for the mountains and has hiked in every season in many places I could only dream to go and...

One of the few perks of going to Venice in the middle of summer is that very few people are up for sunrise at 5 am, and you get San Marco square all for yourself :) A couple of seconds exposure with my Demo Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters...

I love photographing in all conditions, but sometimes the sky is truly generous with us, and when it happens we are in for a show. One morning at Godrevy, in Cornwall, I found such a sky: it was simply an incredible sunrise, with one of those skies that are so saturated that you actually need to...

I know it's a classic, but as all classics it's a classic for good reasons. Witnessing an amazing sunrise standing behind the waterfall of Seljalandsfoss, in Iceland, is exciting and almost overwhelming! No matter how classic it is, it is a sight to behold and an unforgettable experience. 8...

The incredible "El Picon" (The Pickaxe), at Playa de Buelna in Asturias at sunrise during a Workshop I led in Spain in 2017. This is an older image with Leica SL, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm and, of course, Formatt-Hitech Firecrest filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

The iconic Vestrahorn, in Iceland, on a March sunrise. Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 21mm f/4 and the always impressive Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

Sunrise at Reynisfjara Beach, in Iceland. Despite the crowds, if you know when and where to go you can still have the place all for yourself, which is really exciting :) Leica SL, Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

This truly amazing sunrise greeted us at Playa de Gueirua, in Asturias, on the last day of last year's Workshop I led in Spain. Simply unforgettable! :) A 23 seconds exposure with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and my trusty Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Thank you for...

A spectacular sunrise from Playa Ballota, in Asturias (Spain), one of my favourite locations on this amazing coast. The northern coast of Spain is truly beautiful and relatively undiscovered: I can’t wait to go back there next September for one more week of great photography, friendship and fun...

Even when on vacation we planned and committed to rising early with an idea of seeing the sunrise behind St. Stephen's Basilica in Budapest. PhotoPills helped me out with when and where it was rising and so we headed out and I shot through the blue hours into the morning. Here's one of the...

Hey guys, Appreciate general C&C on this one as well as which crop is preferred.. D850 - f/11 - 24mm - 1/100

Hopefully I'm not sickening you all with these shots; Footsteps into the beyond.. I couldn't figure out what made these prints in the snow, the better half suggested a rabbit, but I'm not convinced... a fox? "So let me go where no-one can follow, Lost with my conscience, please bury me honest...

Not many words needed here; same shoot from last week, amazing sunrise at around 2000m.. D850 - 24-7- @ 26mm - ISO64 - 1/80 - f/14

So I took a break from editing yesterday to go get the new lens. Having another crack at a couple of shots again today, this is another one from the other morning.. Sunrise just peeking in on the horizon and the city glowing beneath the clouds. The stars were pretty much invisible to the naked...

So, Last sunrise post for a while, Promise :D As the purple and pinks died out and the sun breached the mountain top, the clouds thickened, I was just about to pack up my gear and leave when I turned and saw the light rays beginning to fill some of the mist in the valley, as the cloud was...

So, after suffering from cabin fever and growing anxiety from not being able to get out and shoot, we decided last night we would getup today and head into the mountain for the sunrise. A spot we've previously visited. Waking at 05:30 on Saturday ain't easy but we grabbed a coffee and jumped in...

Taken shortly after sunrise on a fall morning in the mountain. I purposely played around with DoF to try and get one or two of the grasses tack sharp and the rest of the scene faded.. Shot on D850 w/ 24-70 2.8 @ f/4. Processed and cropped in LR/PS.

Backcountry unit #42 in Denali NP, 9/8/18. CC is always welcome :)

A serene and spectacular sunrise at Poggio Covili, created in Tuscany (Italy) in November 2017. Leica SL, Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280 and the wonderful Formatt Hitech Filters. Thank you for viewing, best regards Vieri

Sunrise in Vitosha Mountain

Rising at 5:45am on a cold cold Sunday morning was an absolute treat as always! We drank a coffee, jumped into the car and headed up into the mountain to catch the sunrise from a viewpoint I've seen but not yet shot from. Arriving just on the cusp of the blue hour, I jumped out of the car and...

Sunrise, Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria. As the fall fades into winter, and it's been raining and snowing for the last 4 days, I'm looking back at warmer mornings with beautiful sunrises over the city. Info: D850 24-70 2.8 @ 24mm f/16 ISO64 1/6 Sec

After my teenage son woke me up to drive him somewhere haveng missed the tram (!) I decided to enjoy the early start and try to capture the beautiful sunrise. Hope you like them. This has a slightly tilted horizon but I like the mood. Autumn sunrise by Roger Wade, on Flickr The flare here...

A couple of days ago, during the Workshop I am leading here in Asturias, we were talking about Tuscany and its amazing landscapes: I immediately started thinking about the beauty of this land in the fall, and realised once more that I can't wait to be back there very soon! This is Val d'Orcia...

This is one of those spots that I keep returning to in hopes of catching the perfect light. Today I saw a promising forecast, so I got up at 0330 to take the two hour drive there for the sunrise once again. This is definitely my best attempt yet, the fog added an unexpected mystique to the image...
