New: An alpine sunset with colour and a bit of drama

By Johan Peijnenburg

An alpine sunset photograph from the archives. This photograph is from June last year and ran into it again when I was selecting photos to upload to my Google+ profile.

An alpine sunset with colour and a bit of drama

I remember that I went out when it was approaching sunset and that the weather was clearing a bit after a heavy summer thunderstorm. I got very wet but did end up with a series of nice sunset photographs like this one!

Cheers, Johan 🙂

    Clouds are amazing in a mountainscape, they really tell so many stories! Wonderful work Johan Peijnenburg !!

    Terrific dark mood and tones here. I can feel the cold! Very clever choice of ‘low key’ here.

    A real beauty Johan , it’s going on my must visit and photography bucket list, well, at least visit and take in the beauty!

    I like this one Johan . The illuminated clouds by the peaks of the mountains are really nice one like the sky was trying to hug the mountains

      Thanks Johan. Appreciate the feedback. Just checked out your work. Totally different stuff but beautiful as well!

      Thanks again Francis. I had plenty of time to wait for the right light … it’s a view from my house 🙂

        Really ? Is there a house I can buy nearby ? I would be more than happy to live in a place like this 😉

        • Johan Peijnenburg says:

          Lol Francis. I won’t be selling soon. There is some land for sale though 🙂 These two mountains are a very nice subject to balance images like this. I use them regularly 🙂

    Can’t believe I missed this shot! Love the composition! I love the silhouette effect of the mountains! The colours!!! 🙂 Excellent shot my friend!

    • Johan Peijnenburg says:

      Hah, but you didn’t Neil. There is so much going on here that it is hard to keep up 🙂 Thanks. Glad you like it!

        yes, its different from where i live. We do have mountainous landscape here but its cool to see scenery and landscape which is so different from what we got here.

        • Johan Peijnenburg says:

          Well, you should keep an eye then Nora! Plenty of scenery from the Alps in my portfolio 🙂
          … I appreciate seeing the scenery from your island. Hope to see more in the future!

      Thanks Jan. Ik neem altijd alle gegevens qua camera, lens, rgb, etc mee in de file. Kun je er wat mee?

    Another evidence that you don’t need a fancy 10 billion dolar camera to make an amazing photo. To me this is absolutely gorgeous…especially the clouds on the left.

    • Johan Peijnenburg says:

      Tnx Emilio! I also have an all singing and dancing one … not something you always want to lug up a mountain though 🙂
