Misty Orange Sunrise, Great Falls National Park, Virginia

Two mornings ago I took a trip to Great Falls National Park, Virginia to photograph the sunrise and meet another young photographer, Alex Mody (http://www.alexmody.com/). The trip was a lot of fun, and the sunrise was quite nice for a while. The cold temperatures overnight, combined with the warm waters of the Potomac River, created banks of fog several hundred feet off the ground, as well as lots of mist rising directly from the river. These cold-night conditions are one of my favorite times to photograph Great Falls.

  1. Hi Chris,

    Very nice shot. I was at Great Falls yesterday evening and did not come close to getting such a great shot.

    Take Care,
    Don

    Wow! This is superb. The mood, colours, water blur and mist just put this over the top! Good stuff, Chris!

    Fantastic shot. Looks almost like a painting.
    I love the effect of the long shutter speed on the water.
    The light is just beautiful.

    Awesome shot babe! This looks like some prehistoric volcanic river shot. I can imagine dinosaurs on the rocks. Great job! (PS: I miss you)
