France Alps The Needles 4235

     As a landscape photographer, being able to keep classical office hours for working is impossible. As many of you know, to have a chance to create mood-filled image there is a need to be in the field well before dawn and long after sunset. While in the French Alps, getting the conditions and mood I wanted for the mountains and lake required being on site during the blue hour of morning and when the weather and light would be best for the opportunity. The soft early morning light, no wind, and same great ground fog was just what I was hoping for. If I had arrived later, I would have missed it all as the fog disappeared and the light was too intense to set the right mood.
