Rhythm of Wind

A majestic panoramic landscape photograph "Rhythm of Wind" showing the sun rising over the jagged volcanic ridges and flowing clouds at Pico do Arieiro, Madeira. Captured by Jan Smid, Master QEP, during a 2021 photography expedition.

We did not hope in such panorama on this year's spring expedition to Madeira. Although the forecast predicted clear and calm weather, the reality in the mountains was different. Inversion surrounded everything around us, wind, cold and gloomy. Just twenty minutes before sunrise, the inversion began to disappear and we finally enjoyed beautiful morning.

Panorama compiled from total of 54 frames (3-level exposure bracketing of 14 frames in two rows, 12 antireflective frames).

Equipment: Nikon D850, Carl Zeiss Otus 28mm f1.4
