Essential tips for highlighting the scale of mountain ranges! With @nickstirbis - Winner Best of the Week 12 at #nomadict / “I captured the photo that won Best of the Week on a recent trip to Patagonia. On our fourth morning in El Chaltén, Mylz and I woke up to clear skies and caught our first glimpse of Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy in the blue hour. We hiked up to Laguna Torre after watching a breathtaking sunrise over the Fitz Roy massif. At the end of the lake is the base of Cerro Torre, a notorious mountain that any climber around the world knows. Standing at the base of this mountain as an avid climber was a humbling experience, and it felt like a massive accomplishment after my relatively short time pursuing photography professionally. The moment felt huge, but getting the actual photograph was a relatively small part of it—I had Mylz pose on our way out of the basin, snapped the picture, and headed back down to town. I think that is part of what makes the photo special - it captures the raw feeling of being there in a simple way, with the clouds drifting between the mountains and the wind howling around us. It is that emotion and drama that speaks to me when I look back at the photo, and I would say it made the days of waiting completely worth it. My goal here was to highlight the scale of Cerro Torre, and that is what guided the composition choice for the image. With the moment being such a humbling experience, I chose to replicate the drama of that feeling with a 135mm focal length. I wanted the photo to look realistic while still being warm and stylized. In post-production, I went for a more teal blue and increased the saturation of the oranges and reds. Lastly, since there was a lot of contrast between the foreground and the mountain, I made sure to keep the shadows up and highlights down.” Congratulations @nickstirbis!
