Back to the abode of the ancient deity
The Rotspitze is waiting, with his heavy load of ancient ice and fresh snow. He stares at us through the crowning clouds like a grim deity from ages past, shrouded in mystery - perhaps wondering what on earth we are doing here...
Here I am, my friends, with a new picture - however a re-edit of an old one. I have always known that I would have re-edited this shot, and the time is come. No time to go around shooting, not even at the precious, secret time of sunrise. We are quite busy in the process of getting a new house in a new town... A great chance for our family. So I have allowed myself returning to this shot - one of my very earliest HDR processing - with new techniques: luminosity masks and Nik Color Efex 4. I love the colour version I have obtained, but from start I was thinking about a monochrome to try conveying a feeling of primeval power and the majesty of the mountain as they could have been perceived by some ancient dweller of the region, thinking that the mountain is a mighty deity.
