About This Photograph

This inspirational sunrise was photographed in the early morning during the month of September while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico into the Sangre de Cristo Range.

Image Rarity

The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.

Zedekiah climbed through the storm to reach an altitude with calm enough winds to be able to film this scene, which lasted a few minutes only.

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.
