The last series from Chamonix: the oddballs and the experiments.
The morning of the third day was super misty after all those rains. During the sunrise I could just barely see the silhouette of the mountains. Normally, I wouldn't even get out of bed for these conditions, unless making it to the top for the cloud inversion shots, which I was clearly not up to. In this place however I had to give it a go. This is about as clear as it ever was that morning.
This is not my typical so I really want to hear from you if this is good or hopeless, and what if any edits should I consider.
Next 2 pieces are long lens shots after randomly driving up one of the slopes to get above the mist.
Editing of the colour version is very unconventional to get rid of the super strong blue cast in the shadow areas. If you shot high mountains in the shade you will know exactly what I mean, otherwise you certainly haven't seen how extreme it gets.
Basically sky is edited separately and mountains separately. I just wonder if it looks realistic representation of the perceived view (as opposed to true photographic representation).
Then the black and white vertical version... We "lose" the sky here and that golden hue on the highlight areas in exchange for conventional mono treatment, the clarity of "layers". Which do you prefer?
