The Secret Eye of the Night

Night Photography on the Alps

 

Here it is another night shot, long exposure, portraying the righteously world famous Swiss side of the Matterhorn mirroring in the calm waters of lake Stellisee (2.537 m).

 

I have already posted a few shots taken during the very same night.

Although these may look similar, each shot is a new scenario in itself, thanks to the movement of the clouds, which are stretched due to their movements during the exposure.

In this case I liked how they formed a sort of eye, within which lies the Matterhorn.

Actually, you can never exactly predict how the clouds will look like at the end of a long exposure, and this is certainly one of the most fascinating aspects of this photographic technique.
