Scenes from the Eastern Dolomites
« on: September 27, 2015, 07:54:00 am »

Some pictures shot during the last few days after arriving on the Dolomites.

The first two are shot with the Canon 5Ds R and the last two with the Nikon D810.

Great set, I like #2 the best but great light and composition in all.

A question on #4, was there something in the frame preventing a "broader" view, now it seems a bit truncated by the crop from the side(s).
A question on #1, is that a PP induced local contrast halo around the mountains in the back (especially on the left) or is it some back illuminated fog rising over the ridge.

All four are very nice but #2 is the best for me.
Thanks again Hans for sharing your photos, it's always a pleasure!

Thanks very much. #4 was shot horizontally but I decided to crop to a square in this case to focus on the mountain and the little church. There were a lot more to the right which I felt was less interesting relative to the main subjects. To the left there ware a village with disturbing houses so the left was given although I could have cloned a few houses out. #1 looks like a halo but really isn't. The light is coming from behind the mountains. It is shot as the first light comes in as part of the twilight and the church is still lit with artificial light. It's all clouds behind and close to the ridge and this is backlit.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

We were up shooting the moon eclipse and although the moon looks amazing there are so many shots of the event. After this I shot the attached photo from a viewpoint near Tre Cime at 2500 meters altitude where one of the Via Ferrata starts above the refugios (Drei Zinnen hütte). The moon was descending near the Croda Rossa mountain. When we walked back we met a hiker who told us that a couple of climbers were climbing to the top of one of the Tre Cime towers and would jump out in wing suits from about 2900 meters. We did not see this but were ready to shoot :)

That first shot of the moon rising over the mountains, is incredible. A superb photo

Thanks very much :)

This morning we were shooting at a location I love very much. The church at Colle Santa Lucia. The first one was shot with the Canon 5Ds R on the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II and the second also 5Ds R and the Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens.

The last was shot at Tre Cime di Lavaredo a couple of days ago using the Nikon D810 and the Nikon 70-200 f/4 VR lens.

It seems hard to get a bad shot in this place! :D

Only kidding!
Congratulations to all for these wonderful images.

Some are quite spectacular, Hans... Maybe a bit heavily processed, some of them —unless of course they are "SOOC", as is only legitimate.  8)
