Hollow Rock Sunrise
The sun breaks through Hollow Rock, which is near Grand Portage, Minnesota.
I went up to Hollow Rock Resort this morning with a shot visualized in my mind, but the conditions I wanted didn't appear, so it took some work to get this shot to work for me. The thing that makes the shot for me is the sunbeam and that only occurred after the sun was up and started melting the ice off the rocks and turning it to mist. It was a surprise when it happened, and I just needed to take advantage of the surprise by composing so the light hit the boulder. Overall, I'm happy with the result.
Two filters: 9-stop ND, 3-stop ND grad.
