I really like simple graphic shapes and bold colors. In this case sunrise at the top of the Haleakala volcano on Maui.

As with real estate sometimes photography is about location – being in the right place at the right time. In this case I was at the summit of the Haleakala volcano in Hawaii with my camera set up to capture the outline of the observatory with the night sky and zodiacal light in the background. I was fortunate that they choose that moment to fire the green TLRS-4 laser at just the right angle to create the green streak across the image. The red in the lower right is from my red-light headlamp. The bright star in the center is Venus.
This and other fine art photos from Maui, Hawaii available here.
This image has a lot going on. We went to the top of the dormant volcano at Haleakala National Park on Maui for sunrise and arrived with plenty of time. Looking east from the summit I noticed a slim band of light just appearing on the horizon while the stars were still very visible.
The bright area in the center of the sky is zodiacal light which is sometimes visible before sunrise. I got lucky when someone drove back down the road creating a streak of light while their lights “painted” light onto the hillside. The two lumps on the horizon on the right side are the two dormant volcanos 80 miles away on the Big Island of Hawaii, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
Night comes early on the shortest day of the year. The two photos that make up this image were photographed from the same location about an hour and a half apart.
