This photo reminds us of nature's power and the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounds us.
The Story Behind the Photograph
I woke up at 3 a.m. to capture this shot. I had discovered a fantastic spot among the vineyards and orchards near Mt Hood, so I drove from Portland on Highway I84 to US35 to reach it. The temperature was around 25 degrees, and I was grateful for my warm clothing. Once I arrived, I started setting up my drone.
After a preflight check, I launched the drone and raised it to the 400-foot maximum height. I searched for the perfect angle based on my position and the sun's location. The drone allowed me to adjust my shooting spot, which often leads to new ideas and perspectives. The mist in the air, the cold temperature, and the sunlight hitting the mist created a magical scene.
I waited for the sun to reach the angle seen in the photo, and when everything looked just right, I took four photos from left to right across the horizon. This panorama consists of three of those four images, taken a fraction of a second apart and stitched together. I processed each photo at home and combined them into the final result.
I hope you enjoy this enchanting moment, featuring orchards, vineyards, the sun, and Mt Hood!
