"Mt. Haleakala Sunrise"
By Mike Diaz

On my recent vacation to Maui, I decided to bite the bullet and wake up at 3:30 in the morning to catch the sunrise from 10,000 ft up on Mt. Haleakala. I'm definitely glad I decided to make the effort to get this image while on a vacation.

I used a 3-stop reverse grad and a 3-stop soft grad in order to try and capture the massive dynamic range of the scene.

"Fantastic shot Mike! Well done. This makes getting up in the middle of the night more worth while. ;)"
