**ASPIRING TO THE TOP**

Uploaded: March 18, 2010 21:27:43

Description

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.

Exif: F Number: 4.7, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/1800 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, ISO: 141, FocalLength: 23.40 mm, Model: DiMAGE F100
