As a guide and photographer I’m always looking for new places to visit that would also be interesting to photograph. Last week I woke early and while it was still dark drove the Allon Road again, an 87km long and winding road in the Jordan valley. Just before sunrise I pulled off the highway, drove through Kokhav HaShahar (means the Morning Star) to a lookout over the hills and mountains of Samaria. As we drove up the rough gravel road we frightened a group of gazelles.

The sun made its way over the mountains illuminating the scene below and I captured this picture.

The technical details – the photo above was taken with my new Nikon D850 DSLR camera, shooting in raw (ISO 500, 58mm, F6.3 at 1/125 sec). The raw data was edited using new software, Affinity Photo to do the post-processing.
