This photograph was taken near by the refuge of Orisson, on the way to Santiago de Compostela from Saint-Jean -Pied-de-Port, before the border between France and Spain in the Basque Country, on the French side. It was shot on the 15th of June 2022.
I took this photo 30mn or so after sunrise. I had to wait for the sun to rise above the clouds which were quite low that day. The sun light was really diffused due to the haze above the mountains which gave this golden quality to the ambient light. I was really windy on those heights (815m) and even though I tried several long shots, I preferred to use a short focal length for the sake of sharpness. Here, I used my 24-70mm at 42mm so that the shaking of camera and tripod would not appear too much even at iso 100.
