Pastel Dawn on Lake Mead
Location Origin Story
This is an early dusk shot of Lake Mead laying silent and still under predawn alpenglow hues on a mid-summer morning; an excellent example of the natural alpenglow effect: Alpenglow(from German: Alpenglühen, Italian: Enrosadira) is an optical phenomenon that appears as a horizontal reddish glow near the horizon opposite of the Sun when the solar disk is just below the horizon.

About This Photograph
This vibrant pastel scene was photographed at daybreak during the month of March while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Black Mountains in southern Nevada.
Image Rarity
The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.
This required taking off in the dark just before daybreak and then maneuvering into position to film this inspiring, tranquil scene.
Zedekiah used the ending light of the evening as a backdrop, where timing and being in the place-in-space for this scene to reveal itself was crucial to this image composition.
Lastly, it is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it extremely rare.
