The Summer over the Mountains

Dolomites

Summer panorama of Dolomite peaks rising through clouds at sunset by Jan Smid, Master QEP.

This year summer expedition to the Dolomites with Zeiss turned out fantastic. Perfect conditions for night photo shooting as a start, and dramatic clouds coloring sunrises and sunset further on. Extremely long winter caused also non-standard conditions for photographers. We experienced a meter of snow in higher altitude places along with already flowering alpine meadows in the valleys. Beautiful summer-winter mix of the Dolomites.

For me, very first “date” with excellent Sony Alpha 1 combined with amazing and extremely small lenses Zeiss Loxia.

Panorama compiled from total of 45 frames (3-level exposure bracketing of 15 frames in two rows).

Equipment: Sony Alpha 1, Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4
