Nikon D810, 6.0 sec, f/13, 100mm, ISO 160

This image is from the Summit Observation Deck at Haleakalā National Park. Sunrise at Haleakalā is unique in that you can include clouds at the bottom of your composition beneath the rising sun. I created this panorama by stitching together four separate images in Photoshop. Stitched together, this image is 68″ x 14″. Don’t you wish you had a printer capable of printing images that size?

Be advised that it will be cold at the summit. When we checked into our hotel (the Paia Inn) we mentioned we would be going to Haleakalā the next morning. They gave us some blankets to take with us. While we were prepared with several layers of clothing that were useless during the remainder of our trip, my wife greatly appreciated the blankets.
