Sunrise From Snake River
by Kevin McNeal
This is one of those frustrating images you gotta have if you go there even though everyone has it. I tried every morning to get some alpenglow on the peaks and for what ever reason something went wrong so I was glad on the last day to get some kind of color. I used a Mor-Slo 5 Stop ND filter to get a longer exposure and thus more color.

It might be a shot that everyone has to get, but I’ve never seen it quite like this! Incredible color and detail. I’ll never get tired of seeing wonderful images of the Tetons.
Thanks for sharing!

Icons are icons for good reason. I don’t think there’s any shame in shooting them. I think you’ve done an outstanding job with this image. The color along with the snow is wonderful. Congratulations on your POTD.

Quick question Kevin… why does exposing longer give you more color?

Great shot Kevin.
But, please explain how does slower shutter translate into greater color???
Kevin McNeal
Anurag -
Sorry to be late to answering the question but with the Mor-Slo it has a magenta cast and the longer the shutter the more vibrancy. That has been my experience but according to reason there can be no reason for this and I must be wrong. I plan on doing a blog test on whether this is true or not.

I honour your experience and do not question the results you get. One plausible explanation may be that with ever longer shutter speeds some amount reciprocity failure creeps in just as with films. This leads to slight under exposure, which would then result in more saturated colors.
