Ramon Crater- Desert Sunrise

Sunrise and sunset are the two peaks of the day for any outdoor photography. Lighting is easy and warm, contrasts between bright and dark surfaces are reduced to a minimum, and everything simply looks better.

In the desert, the ground usually becomes red and purple, creating a somewhat martian scenery. Last weekend, I had joined something I can most clearly define as a movement workshop, in “Hangar Adama“- based in Mizpe Ramon, Israel- just of the largest erosion formed crater in the world, the Ramon crater.

Shaped by flood water and winds for millions of years, the crater edge is a dramatic spot to visit on any time of day. We took a walk to the crater edge just with sunrise, to enjoy the unique views. Besides always being a nice experience, this sunrise was the first I got to photograph with my new Olympus E-420 DSLR.
