Inspirations – Dreamscape by Rui Vieira

Canon 5D Mark Canon 24-105 f/4 L at 80mm 93 sec f/6.3 ISO: 200
This shot was made at Pico island (Azores) near Pico Mountain, the highest mountain in Portugal. This was one of the most amazing scenarios that I was ever presented with. It was made during a full moon night while hiking to shoot the sunrise and I was amazed by this view. The conditions were unique! The bright light from the full moon illuminated the fast moving clouds below the Pico Mountain. I used a 93 seconds exposure to blur the fast moving clouds and register this surreal atmosphere that I call “Dreamscape”. ~ Rui Vieira

Oh, I love this. I am super jealous that I have never been in a situation where clouds were behaving like this. I’ll have to go exploring more.
