More Dawn Photos

The first one is in the Grand Tetons of a barn on Mormon Row. As will almost all dawn photos, this took some driving and walking in the dark to be there as the sunlight started to emerge.

The next two are at the same time with a little different perspective. This is Bad Water in Death Valley on one of those once in a lifetime winters when there is enough rain to recreate Lake Manley. It was 3 miles across and 6 miles long and maybe 3 to 4 feet deep. As soon as I heard it was there I jumped in my car a drove 10 hours to get there. Another bonus was wildflowers everywhere, also rare in Death Valley.

These are really nice. I primarily do rodeo photography, but I really like landscape, too. I took this one about 2 miles from Leavenworth, WA. It has a greenish tint to it that drives me nuts! Was wondering if my white balance could have been off. I used a Canon D40, with my Tamron, 70-200mm 2.8 lens. I want to blow this up and frame it, but the color is off.

Catherine, this is really a nice shot. I assume the green tint was not there when you took the picture thus your dislike. By looking at the shot, I would have recommended your WB set at shady setting with exposure at +1 or +1.5 compensation to render the snow a little whiter. Where did you have the white balance set? If it was on auto, this could account for the greenish tint especially if you took it with 0 compensation. Overall, I still like the composition and color. I live in Montana and many of our waters have that greenish tint. The trees in your picture look like they rendered the correct color.
