Welcome to another paradise Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is my first photo of the serie dedicated to the treck from Zermatt to Arolla. A well knowed treck, but my first time in summer conditions. Usually I have gone in winter, with skies. It has been something special and I hope you enjoy your self.
This picture, is took at the morning when we has left the "Schonbiel hut", direction to the Stockji summit, bordering the "Tiefmattengletscher". An amazing glacier with a lot of cracks, and with the "Dent d'Herens" in front. The alpinist in front of me, is my colleague "of job".

Hej Javier,
This is a really gorgeous mountain landscape. I like the contrast between the brownish tones in the foreground and the snow in the background. The mountain peak looks great, since it's the only part which is lit up and also the little cloud above it is great. The lonely person on the right hand side is a very good inclusion. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Javier,

Nice timing to capture the cloud directly atop the peak. The sharpness is good. The composition is good using the valley as a lead-in line and I like the inclusion of the hiker for scale. The red leggings and pack were fortunate as they make him stand out better. You've captured good detail in the shadows and you've been judicious with the polarizer giving us a realistic and lovely if mostly cloudless sky. My only critique is that the highlights on the lightest patch of snow have been blown. An ND grad would have saved the day here but still a nice image.

Cheers!

Bob G.

Vaya nose que paso con mi nota, desaparecio. La vuelvo a escribir.
Viendo esta imagen y despues de haber leido tu intro, es cierto que pasearse con varios kilos de material no es siempre muy practico. Pero cuado llega el momento y un rayo de sol como este se presenta seria doloroso no poder immortalizarlo, como aqui.
Saludos

HOla Javier
Bonita composicion
has sabido balancear las condiicones contrastantes de luz presentes en la foto de una buena manera ya que podemos pericbir bien los elementos de la foto bajo la sombra mientras vemos bien la parte iluminada por el sol sin que este sobreexpuesta. COmo lo has hecho?
Un saludo
Daniel

Hello Javier
Striking capture - well composed with strong diagonals. The wispy sunlit cloud over the mountain top really catches the eye. I posted a WS to bring up levels on the foreground using a technique I read about on the plane this evening.
Regards,
Greg

Bonjour Javier,

Nice shot, I like the exposure for the shadows which allows to get details on all the bottom of the picture with the ice and the stones.
The alpinist shares the scale of the landscape and is well put in the frame.
Nevertheless, the summit in the sun is a little too much white, is there a possibility by post-processing to put back some details in this full white area?
Whatever, it seems to be a very nice place for hiking.

Yves.

Salut Javier

Excellent shot. You could download Picasa from Google free and try the graduated tint filter to play down the overexposed snow but the exposure is bang on for the rest of the image. I really like the little cloud in this image. Looks like quite a trek.

Hola Javier,
Une tres belle image prise juste au bon moment ou le soleil commence a eclairer le sommet de la dent d'Herens, et le petit nuage pose au dessus est tres chouette. Cette zone est d'ailleurs un peu surexposee, si tu as un fichier RAW il est possible de descendre un peu les hautes lumieres sans obscurcir le reste de ta photo qui a une bonne luminosite. Tu parles de ton collegue de job, tu es guide de montagne ?
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

Hi Javier,
fantastic view. You managed finding the right moment to fire. The interplay between sun and shadow works great. Not least because of the majestic light illuminating the peak. The trekker gives a good contrast to the powerful landscape. Furthermore there are several "lines" which pass the observer slowly through your photo.
Well done
Best regards
Manuel
