Rise Eastern Sierra - Light at Play

Initially meant to be a simple mountain landscape, this real location in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains was transformed into a bright and colorful sunrise. The silhouette of the peaks, lake, trees, and rocks were the initial framework. A clear, midday blue sky became a serene, warm sunrise, with carefully matched clouds. The rising sun, peeking through the mountains, was added to project beams of light onto the surrounding peaks and valley, creating a dramatic effect. Meanwhile, the calm lake reflects the beauty of the scene.
