Mountain High

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted March 12, 2015970 views5 comments

One of the great pleasures of living and flying in Alaska is exploring the high mountain glaciers. Here just below the flank of Mt Danbeard near Denali, looking toward the amphitheater of the Ruth at about 6000'. April and May can provide fabulous crisp days and great snow for climbers, skiers and ski plane fliers.

Tom, you own Man and Nature. How can we come up with anything rivaling this spectacular country. The main subject in red really stands out in an otherwise cool image. Beautiful picture. Wish I was there.

Tom: Great comp of a marvelous scene. This is pretty severely underexposed and I noticed the grayness of the snow even in the thumbnail. Sunlit snow ought to be much whiter than this. Simply establishing a better white point also lightens the dark sky and brings out some better detail in the rock faces. My 2¢ and congrats on the WP. >=))>
