Patience or luck?

Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm at dawn - Dolomites, Italy.
One of my favorite photo spots.
Four dawns in a row I waited for the right conditions, until finally I got them. The first two days, no fog, no cloud. On the third day there was hint of fog, but no clouds. Luck is beautiful only when you waiting for it.

i would say a bit of both beautiful image again i don't know how you do it.. do you plan shots in advance or just wander the globe and pray HARD!!! for that great light

Thanks Joseph! Yes, planning is half of the job, the rest is luck.

i should start learning how to plan next luck is fickle with me

Love it howndo you plan your shots any tios or apps

Weather forecast and the 'photographer ephemeris' app.
Be sure to look at other photos from that place on various places on net and evaluate where you can do better.

"The more I do, the luckier I get", as they say. Chance favours the prepared mind, especially one that's out operating the camera before 6am in the cold... :-)

True!

Wonderful image Radisa. Just goes to prove that it's not the camera that create the image, it's the hard work of the photographer.

That's right! Thanks Alan!

A little of A and B, I imagine. You know what they say, you've got to be lucky to be good, and good to be luck... at least I think they say that.

I wish I had 4 days in a row to dedicate to photography. It seems every time I travel 2 hours to grab a photo of Fuji it hides away, despite every weather app I use telling me the skies will be clear, haha.

The only "critique" I have is that I think the vignette is a little too strong. Nicely shot.

Thanks so much Jordan for input! Yes, vignette is little bit darker.

Freaking fantastic.

Thanks man!

Complete image! Very beautiful! Jealous on the conditions! :)

Thanks so much!
