Dakobed alpenglow 478
One type of shot that I chase after is alpenglow, which is a combination of sunrise/sunset and the right cloud conditions. I target the numerous volcanoes in Washington due to their proximity from my home as well as having a fairly reliable canvas for the first (sunrise) or last (sunset) rays of the day; I target the sunset because I can see if the weather lines up rather than hoping for clear skies overnight. For just a few minutes after sunset (or before sunrise), the sun rays angle through the atmosphere which absorb the blue light and results in a reddish tint to everything it hits whether it's tall mountains, volcanoes or clouds. A careful observer can see this band of light move down at sunrise and move up and sunset and that's what we can see in this image; 2 minutes prior to this shot Dakobed (Glacier Peak) was in the shadows and 3 minutes after this Dakobed was only lit by reflected light. Adding to the drama of this shot was the clouds which cleared up to the west and allowed a small sunbreak right down the valley. I timed this shot using tools to determine the best time of year for the sun to go up the valley, but I got lucky the clouds didn't completely block the sun rays.
