The shot above is from Deadhorse, AK. A couple of rigs not in use this winter are quickly covered by ice and snow in the arctic conditions. Very odd looking at what is in effect a "ghost" rig. Couldn't help thinking of John Carpenter's The Thing, especially when it was a little darker. This was just before the seasons first sunrise/sunset as the sun made it about 1/2 of the way above the horizon for 30 minutes. Shots of the actual sunrise/set below.
The imaget is an HDR Pano built from 24 individual shots. I used a Canon 7D and EF 24-70mm f/2.8L hand held in -43 degree temps with a -65 windchill. Lightroom, Photomatix Pro, and Photoshop were all used in the process.
The two shots below are the sunrise/set from Deadhorse. Unfortunately, there are very few interesting foreground elements on the tundra. The shots are actually taken across the runway at the airport in "town."
Will put up a pano of a 737 and the sunrise soon.
Fiat Lux!
