ASPIRING TO THE TOP


 
BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Editor's Pick BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   **ASPIRING TO THE TOP**
**ASPIRING TO THE TOP**
ACBP - Lighting/Silhouette. Not a very dramatic raw image, but with the use of Photoshop I was able to get the mountain and climber in total darkness and sky in a more dramatic shade of blue with the levels sliders for a compelling shot. Original shot was taken towards dusk and there was just too much shadow on the climber and the mountain. Creative use of Photoshop turned a mediocre shot into something far more interesting. Set-up: Tripod; Aperture: f/8; ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1/45 second.
