Mt Ngauruhoe Sunrise

by Michael Treloar

Magical morning on a snowy ridge.
Early morning start at 4am, to walk to the top of the ridge before the sun came up. This was my first shot, could of been earlier. Maybe next time leave at 3:30am.

Equipment: Nikon D200

New Zealand landscape photographer. I’ve spent the last 10 years traveling through out my own country, and a few other places in the world.
I love my wide angle lens, and try and capture as much as I see.

As a seamstress, the colors in this photo would make for a gorgeous gown. Your early morning rise has certainly paid off. Thank you for your efforts. Absolutely wonderful shot.

Great shot, excuse my ignorance but didnt think New zealand had snow. What a wonderful surprise. How long did it take you to get to the ridge?

This just shows how dedicated we photographers can be, getting up so early and trekking uphill in the snow; it paid off though; cracking shot.

Congrats! That’s a gorgeous picture, with the soft hues of violet, white and blue. That must be a volcano, right?
