"Reaching For The Sky"


Amsterdam, NL
          

This image was shot on last year's landscape workshop in Cappadocia, Turkey.

These bizarre rocks are made of sandstone, which is very soft and therefore erodes very easily. The area gets plenty of rain, which speeds the process up considerably.

This particular location is far away from the beaten track - even most of the locals have never been here. That makes it the perfect place for night photography, which is what we did with the group.

I waited until the sun had set before I started the 4-minute exposure, during which I illuminated the rocks with a flash.

The orange glow on the clouds was not visible with the bare eyes, but they showed up after building up color during the 4 minutes of exposing.

Very nice Marsel. I just viewed your video on Cappadocia yesterday on your website. One of the locations on my short list.

I like the way you have used color in the different parts of the image. So many times at sunset there are just silhouettes and a great sky but you have pulled together interesting shapes and textures in the rocks with the motion of the clouds and stars to make a dynamic image. What kind of white balance did you use for this image?
