[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ok, i'm just keep saying how i love mountains so here is one photo from very high up in the mountains, aimed at Mount Tasman, with its 3497m second highest mountain in New Zeland. Photo was taken from the helicopter during the heli-tour with landing on the top of Fox Glacier. The color of the sky might look unnatural a little but believe me, i only slightly adjusted shades to increase contrast on crevases on the glacier, the color of the sky is like that thanks to CP filter I used when taking this shot.
Mount Tasman was first climbed in 1895. Climbing is mostly mix of glacier/snow/ice climbing.
Hope you'll like this view.
good luck, mountainers!

Wow would love to be there :)
Excellent post Viktor,
I was in Himachal, India trekking the Dhauladhar Range (Himalayan Range) and proceeded to Sikkim where I was climbing the Himalayan Range at Kanchanjunga :)
I love the hills, there is something about them that is soo mystical... ain't it :)
Cheers :D

I like the structures on the glacier. The subtle tones give it a lot of three-dimensionality. Generally you were quite successful to keep the harsh light under control.

hi Viktor,
very good "mixed" of colors and B/W.great sharpness.

HEllo Viktor,
Another great picture!
Amazing mountain landscape taken with perfect technic. The white balance is excellent.
Greetings.

Hi Viktor,

You have captured the textures of the glacier very good. I like that, almost silver shining light, reflecting from the snow. The picture stands very sharp and clear and the contrast between the sky and the snow/ice is so wonderful.

Thanks,
Christian

Hello Viktor,
Such a stunning landsape. This place s just fantastic and the lighting you had is great. Although it is beeautiful, the progression on the ground with so many crevasse cracks must be quite difficult and dangerous.
Have a nice day.
Best regards, Christian

Hi!
This pic makes me want to go there with my skies, and go off-piste (freeski) :D

Great sharp picture. Nice POV

Cheers
Adam

Could be in B&W ;]
