Triglav sunset, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

I know that there are a lot of sunset pictures sent here on TrekEarth. But I decided to put this one, because of one moment. To the very left of the image just outside the frame is the highest peak of Slovenia, Triglav. It goes to 2864 meters height. The highest peak on this image, however, is Skrlatica, with 2740 meters. I have never to Triglav, but I will try to go to the top one day to take some pictures from there. On a clear day I can see it from my apartment in Kranj and this was one of those days. Even though there are typical sunset colors, I would very much like to see some workshop with these colors. I was playing with levels and came with some nice results. The picture you see, though, is just resized picture of the original one.

P.S: Updated because of good critique about Triglav from Vid.

Stunning capture! Great lighting and silhouettes of the mountains in the distance. Good play of the clouds to create the lighting effect around the outside and rays coming through. I wouldn't change the colors too much, it's best as you saw it!

Beautiful layering here and some fantastic shapes in the clouds - this is very nicely seen Alek - you have caught some really beautiful subleties of the light as well as the more obvious effects.

Very nice!

best wishes Kev

This is a nice play of light with a warm colortone on the several levels, very nicely seen and captured Aleksandar.

Hi Aleksandar, A beautiful sunset scene with beautiful color, cloud formation and the background scenery. You have well captured the sunray shining out from the cloud. A well seen and well taken picture.

Hi Aleksandar - fantastic sunset, great timing, and brilliant idea to have the sunrays in front of the mountain range

pnphan (3957) 2005-07-27 10:48

Hi Aleksandar
very impressive sunset picture. I would crop the bottom and take the electricity polds out of this beautiful image

pharvey00 (96) 2005-08-20 2:20

I'm glad you decided to share this- it's very bold and passionate. I would suggest cropping the fuzzy clouds at the top- it would make it even more bold and impressive, and it would help define the focus more to the streaming rays coming from the mountain peaks. Personally I like the poles at the bottom (actually I think it might have been a little better if you aimed a little lower, so that they aren't cutoff), since they are small, silhouetted and graceful (remember, it's my opinion!).

Great moment! Fantastic lighting from clouds shapes. I like majesty outlines of mountains and small ellectropillar.
Excellent job!

Aleks
your gallery is amazing for a "newcomer" in TE...you seem not to have a lot to learn here, rather to teach us....

see you soon

Hola, despues de ver toda su galeria de fotos, esta es la que mas llamo mi atencion, ver la silueta de las montañas atras y por debajo de las nubes, permitiendome sentir un fondo, con perspectiva atmosferica me agrado mucho, tambien como la nube saturada de luz por el sol detras, y los rayos formandose por delante de la montaña entre cortando esa atmosfera me resulte agradable, y la nube parece una gran pincelada de Paul Gauguin.
Saludos
