Camera: Canon EOS 1Ds MKIII
Lens: Canon EF 16-35 mm. f/4.0L IS

I woke up early this morning. All was still extremely silent in camp, no one was awake besides myself. It was fairly bright outside; but sunrise was still an event of the future. So I quickly unziped my sleping bag, got dressed and hastily grabbed the new to me Digital SLR, a secondhand full-frame Canon EOS 1Ds MKIII acquired just half a year ago, and mounted the all new wide-angel lens from Canon, the EF 16-35 mm. f/4.0L IS to it; - I then set of into the mountaintops surrounding our camp to capture some sun-rays in the soft light before sunrise, and to just enjoy it all from a elevated point. So the much needed morning-shave and -wash would have to wait. I could not be bothered by such triviality at this time.

I was roaming the Anti-Atlas mountains in Morocco, armed with my lovely camera, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, blue skies and the sun was just about to rise above the mountaintops, - what more could one ask for.

Here I had everything I need from life; some basic hardware and clothes wrapped inside my Geländewagen, - plus some solitude and great vistas to shoot and capture. In this moment I made the final decision to change my priorities in life.
