Two experiments while I was in NZ... Using fill to get the person and the landscape properly exposed in horrid light...
Makes it look kind of artificial though...

Brother and Mother with Mt Cook in the background



Louise and Isabelle during the climb to Mueller Hut (more pictures from this wonderfull trek to follow )

MHD - wow!

The second shot is so powerful with the power of nature looming over the smallness of humanity.

It may have been an experiment and they may not be absolutely perfect but the shots were captured and that is the important factor.

The first one certainly does hint of a cut & paste job... but the second one worked alright... if only there were more light at Isabelle to draw attention to her on the ground.

hehe... yes.
Perhaps if I used linked SB-800's

Seriously though, that first shot was a real photographic challenge as without flash the snow line on Mt Cook exposed to the same level as the horrid white cloud so there would be no point photographiing it (look here they are against a plain white background)

Only one question MHD - why is your brother only wearing a t-shirt?

It was actually quite warm down there... about 25 degrees... that mountain with the ice in front (mt Cook) is 3000 metres higher than the place where that image was taken
