Alpenglow

From My Room in the Banff Springs Fairmont

Alpenglow Tips:

  • Alpenglow is the last light on the top of a mountain appearing after the sun has set.
  • The color of the last sunlight is spectacularly yellow, orange and finally red.
  • Watch for it when you are in the mountains in the evening.
  • Here, I saw it out my hotel window.  I put the camera lens up against the glass to eliminate reflections.
  • The camera’s meter wants to make the shot look like daylight, so I used a lot of negative exposure compensation.
