December 2024 - The Vestrahorn SE Iceland
About the Image(s)
The Vestrahorn on the south east coast of Iceland is one of my favourite locations in the country and has yielded a large number of successful images from 3 visits. This particular image is truly ‘international’ in that the sky was captured in Yellowstone in February 2012 and the Vestrahorn in February 2019.
Sky captured on a Canon EOS 5D Mk 2 fitted with the Canon 24-105 mm lens set at 24mm and the Vestrahorn captured on a Panasonic GX8 fitted with the Lumix 12-35 mm lens set at 12mm (35mm equivalent 24mm)
The two images were combined and processed in CS6 following my normal workflow, converted to mono in SEP 2 and further processed. Finessed in Topaz DeNoise AI and sharpened using the High Pass filter in Soft Light mode and sharpening halos removed where necessary.

I like the shadows across the mountain and the black sand dunes make a great leading line towards the peaks. Posted: 12/09/2024 18:09:40
I am in Ellas camp I would have had no idea you had replaced the sky and what a magnificent sky,the whites are so well handled,lighting and tonal range exceptional the composition just draws you into the picture.
Outstanding. Posted: 12/11/2024 20:46:12
Great job with the sky replacment. Both the sky and the waves show competing movement with the static mountains in the center of the image. I might like to see a little more definition (darkening) of the mountains. Susan Posted: 12/20/2024 16:19:52
