On the Northern Face

This was taken at the end of the track that my friend and I walked along near the end of last year. If I get enough sleep tonight I’ll write about the walk tomorrow. For now, I’ll write about this photo.

Part of the reason why I try to get into The Blue Mountains before sunrise is to see if I can recapture this, but seeing if I can do better. I still like that photo but I have better gear now, but more importantly I feel I’ve also become a better photographer, so I want to see if I can get a better photo.

It’s quite clear that the below photo is not from the same location and not with the same amount of light. It was the right moment at the right time, and it has this sense of massiveness, and perhaps wonder too.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-eighty-second Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Dramatic“.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Donna

Egidio

Ritva

Patti is curating this one. Next week Leya is curating.

I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.

    I think both photos are awesome. This one has an edge to it, it’s more dramatic.
