Burning Peak Photo

Photographer’s Note

I climbed up a hill about 300 feet high to obtain such angle, after getting into position, there wasn't much I could do other than waiting. It was really a test to one's edurance both physically and mentally. For more than two hours, I stood there watching, metering and praying, the cold was just unbearable. The actual shooting session was however, lasted only for 8-10 mins. I couldn't complain though, I guess these are the things any landscape photographer have to bear. Sze Chuan, China.

Very nice. Good colours and the mountain is nice and sharp. I'd say your wait was worth it.

PS - You're a Photosig vistor as well. :-)

Your wait was definitely worth the hardship! Looks like the the peaks are on fire, literally producing clouds of smoke. It's a beautiful image of deep colour, visually stunning. Your perseverence produced an excellent result. Well done.

I think it was worth all your efforts Steve. Good colors and composition. The clouds give a nice tough to the photograph.

The colors are great and its an appropriate title. Evertyhing is sharply captured. Really amazing shot.

A very rewarding shot, I would imagine. It might have been cold, but... I'm going to Yading this summer, so it's good to see what kind of shots are possible. Thanks!
