Description

Description: The Ramon Crater in Israel's Negev Desert isn't formed by meteorite impact but is a unique "makhtesh" - an erosional landform exclusive to the Negev and Sinai Peninsula. Occasionally, clouds seem to "spill" into its depths, a phenomenon caused by moist air condensing and creating the appearance of clouds flowing into the crater. This phenomenon is exceptionally rare, occurring only a few times a year. For me, this photograph isn't just an image; it represents the persistence of continually trying until success is achieved. I made the journey to this location at least five times, each trip taking roughly two and a half hours one way, before I finally captured this shot. This photo was nominated in the "Night Life" category at LifeFramer. Their description captures it best: "A gorgeous landscape that plays with texture and scale, describing the immensity of this natural landscape by the thin, golden thread of road that traces its way across it. As night remains set in in one corner of the frame, day begins to break diagonally opposite – that liminal time between night and day where our environment can often take on a ghostly quality, here emphasized by the clouds that soften the crater’s edge. It’s a very well-constructed scene that transports you to a place and communicates a feeling." – LIFE FRAMER Art Info: Artist: Alexander Seleznyov Genre: Photography Location: Mitzpe Ramon, Israel Date Taken: 24 April 2021 Technical Info: Resolution: 8002 x 5335 Camera: Nikon D850 Lens: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art ISO: 100 F-stop: f/8 Focal Length: 700 mm Shutter Speed: 10 sec - 30 sec Number of shots: 20
