"Tiefe Berge" • Nikon D70s with AF-S DX VR Nikkor 18-200/3.5-5.6G IF-ED
A view from the Aibleck across the mountains towards Tyrol. The ascend was quite exhausting on that hot summer day. The ridges in the backlight were toned in a very intensive blue that is typical for the border regions of the alps (humidity is higher than in the central alps).
This black & white conversion is the result of two independently developed exposures (one for the highlights, one for the shadows) from a single raw file which were combined with LR/Enfuse afterwards (this is very easy with Lightroom's "Create a virtual copy" function). Its another good example why shooting raw is a good idea: without a tripod, I wouldn't have been able to take more than one steady shot to capture more light and dynamic range. Shooting raw gave me the extra dynamic range that was needed really badly for this shot.
And nevertheless, I wonder what this shot might've looked like, had I taken it with a Fuji S5pro.
