This picture was taken at dawn before and after sunrise just several hundred meters from my house. I was testing the dynamic range of my 2 weeks old Nikon D7000 which I bought for my birthday.
Early dawn before the sunrise.

| The dynamic range was well controlled with the gradual hues of the mountain well defined at the same time not overexposing the lit up skies. |
When the sun peeks from behind the mountain, the bright light reduces the contrasts of the shadows
but it's still visble. My older D70 would just create a black silhuette of the mountain.

A tricky shot with the camera facing the sun, the green of the grass is captured instead of just plain silhouettes.
