This is a 220 degree Wide and Tight Diorama shot in JTree.

After many trips there, before the crowds hit, I had experienced so much varied wildlife there that I had fallen in love with the place.

One issue setting up in the dark, other than being repeatedly impaled, is guesstimating from which direction the color will come. Often, first light breaks up from the lower basin to the upper. But other times it flanks you. Then the are the rare occasions, such as this, when it begins by flanking you from the left and eventually entirely envelopes you from all sides.

I shot non-stop starting early Nautical twilight through sunrise, capturing 360 degree Wide and Tights, each amazing and displaying color temperatures uniquely its own.
