I've recently read in a german blog that photography is being in the right place at the right time (and release the shutter:-) - and thats true especially for landscape photography.
During our descend to the parking area I made a short stop while the others went ahead (yes, I had to pee). When I turned around to return to the track, the setting sun bathed the nearby mountains in its last rays of warm, orange light. What a moment!
And just a moment it was, indeed. The fellow hikers already where in the woods below and did not see the amazing "glow on the rocks". Only 5 minutes later, it was all over, and light returned to its normal progress when its getting dark:
The mountain on the left of the photos is called the "Steinplatte" ("stone plate") and in the first shot above, in the back are the "Loferer Steinberge" as well. More photos from the tour will follow in a web album shortly. In the meantime, check out the updated "Mountains " album. The last two photos in the album are from this tour, too. :-)
To be in the right place at the right time, it needs a lot of luck. Seems like you are a lucky guy. ;-) You took the first picture when you went pee; you had that awesome seal picture just before the battery died; and you did not need the sunset light to the breathtaking monochrome picture... Well, it's also because your awesomeness for those beautiful pictures. There's no denying it. ^_^
