Matterhorn Wave Sunset

by Mark Seaver

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted July 5, 2014580 views10 comments
After a trip to Switzerland last December, I posted an image of wave clouds catching the sunset over the Matterhorn in the Landscape gallery with the ski lift structures cloned out. I've finally gotten around to reprocessing some pictures from that trip with some ideas that I learned from Mark Metternich, so here's another view of that sunset with the ski lifts included. (5D3, 70-200 f2.8 @ 70mm, 1/20s, f/13, iso 100, tripod and cable release)

Hey Mark,
I missed the post of this image the first time but I am sure glad to get a second chance to see it again. The clouds are amazing with the colors and shapes you captured.
Well done . . . :toast:

These shots were spectacular the first time around and equally so this time. I'm sure Mark's techniques can only enhance what was a very unique opportunity.

This is spectacular Mark. With regard to processing, I'm particularly impressed with the tonal balance between the mountain and the colors in the sky. Perfect contrast for my tastes. Exceptional work...
