LR only, indeed..

but was mandatory... there was a terrible light contrast from front subject (in shadow) and that splendid sunny sky in background... the "fill light" cursor in LR had to be heavily used... Wouldn't have been me too in a not-so-easy position

... well this could have been a right occasion to test exposure bracketing and some HDR software...

Thanks for the above comments

Luigi -

I would need three hands in that situation so that I could hold a camera as well as a rope. Excellent in moment, framing, light, color, depth and detail.

Super!

azzo · 08/27/08, 02:37 PM

Luigi,

Awesome...both capture and location.

Luigi,

A great photograph in difficult lighting.

Your daughter seems to be loving it. I'm glad to see she is clipped on with a proper Via Ferrata sling rather than the standard slings that some climbers use.

How does the M8 cope with bumps and knocks on the rock?

...except for the necessity to use a tripod and have the subjects hold perfectly still for at least three exposure brackets. LR fill was the way to go with this.

Very nice location and photograph. Is this the same face that is used for your avatar?

roguewave · 08/27/08, 11:05 PM

"Top of the World Ma!" Just awesome!

Where exactly did you take that picture?

Thanks for the appreciation... my avatar is indeed the second little girl, not Laura that is in foreground (and focused on)... time has passed (for Silvia and me

) and she's grown...

(and ... the third and youngest and LAST girl is still too little for such environments...)

Brenta gruppe (Madonna di Campiglio), Trentino, Italy... and tomorrow evening I'll be there again...

; the depicted passage is around 2900 mt, not far from Cima Brenta - 3150 mt.

Swiss isn't surely second to Italy for mountains' beauty.... I left part of my heart in Mischabel and Wildstrubel...

Yes, this gear is fundamental expecially for, next to the end of difficulties, one likes also to show that can climb down "one-handed"...

Fine till now... 1 year old... let'see if it will match the 20+ years of my M4 in such environments...

luigi,
just back from alpe di siusi-sciliar that probably you also know.
congratulations to you and your daughters for a great (and high) "walk".

andybarton · 08/28/08, 09:41 PM

The first one is just an excellent shot.

zernikepolynom · 08/28/08, 10:56 PM

Not afraid of heights, obviously...

Thank you for showing
