Geometry of Nature
Night shot, exposure 37 minutes (yes, more than half an hour), taken on September 22nd 2012 at the shores of lake Rosset (2.709 m), Nivolet plateau, Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy).
Geometry has been paramount in conceiving this photo:
1) bottom rectangular shape: the waters of the lake
2) center triangular areas: Col Rosset (3.025 m), Col Leynir (3.084 m), Taou Blanc (3.438 m)
3) summit semicircular area of the sky: concentric star trails toward the Polaris
shot started when the moon (phase 43%) was setting behind me and my camera, in order to get still some shades on the mountains, at least during the very first minutes of the long exposure, just to give body and three-dimensionality to the landscape.
