Photo of Ama Dablam in Khumjung, Nepal. Wow, that is breathtaking. What was the post like on that shot, did you have to tweak much to get that amazing shading? Also, how long of an exposure was it? Thanks!
Appreciate the kind words maxogden. Nothing to drastic. Truth be told, I have only started using lightroom about 2 weeks ago, so am definitely a beginner. I increased contrast & highlights, lightened the blacks and darkened the shadows. Also increased the saturation to better represent the color in the sky that evening. This image was actually rather easy to get looking good compared to all the others from the trip. The harsh lighting and glare off the ice capped peaks made it difficult to get good unedited photos. We did the walk as a part of a group so unfortunately I did not have the option to wait around for the right lighting(golden hours).
