Hi everyone,
Was just going through a couple of my NZ pics and dont think I had posted this one. Sunset at Mount Cook 9:30 PM.
Taken with Canon Powershot A85 with the vivid colour mode turned on.
Looking forward to comments.
Nosh.

Mount Cook
Hello Nosh and welcome to the forum
I looooove mountain shots.... You have captured the alpinglow on Aoraki (Mt Cook) nicely. By shifting the angle of my monitor, I can see detail like the scree fans on Mt Wakefield (Right hand side) and the sinister sinking cloud on the left spilling over the main divide. Perhaps these details could be made more prominant with some PPing (IMHO) Well done. Any more to make a mountaineer drool?

Nice image although my advice to you is to redo the post production on it and put in more control over your burning ... darkening of the sky ... very unconvincing.
My advice would be to apply a grad from the saddle of the mountain through to the top of the sky, then trim the grad to fit the mountains on the left and the right. I would colourise the sky back to a purplely blue. That should make the burn more interesting and the colour harmony between the warm rays of light on Mt Cook and the sky more appealing! Hope thats a help! Antsl
Thanks Ants and Gecko.
There is minimal PP done on the pic, and there was actually a storm coming along which we were caught in while driving back to Glentanner Park. Also for mountain lovers like gecko, got more pics from my travels into the Himalayas. Though these were all taken on transparency film. Again no PP on these except removing a few dust marks. These were all taken on my Nikon F3T and FM3A. Gecko, if you need any specific info on any locations do let me know. Having travelled extensively in the Himalayas, we could even get together a tour for like minded mountain nuts. http://nosh1776.fotopic.net/c410498.html
Good idea - always love to talk about photography, mountains and the outdoors! Here is a couple of images I posted a while ago... http://www.dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?t=7474&highlight= I'm off to NZ again in a few weeks and hope to capture some nice images, tho we are not going to our usual climbing haunts of Mt Cook as little gecko is too young for that stuff yet. We will womble around in Lewis Pass, northern end of Able Tasman NP and a few other nice spots! Cheers Gecko Nikon D70, SB600, Benbo Trekker, LSII, KingPano and a lot to learn!
