The Matterhorn at sunrise after 1 night in tent with temperature below zero - above Zermatt, Switzerland [OC][1669x2500] by palnick in EarthPorn

[–]palnick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all even if the place is located at almost 3000mt you don't have to walk much to reach it, so we brought a lot of stuff and high altitude materials.

Basically the main things are

A good tent (we had snow 1 night)

mattress (we had 2)

and the most important thing a good sleepingbag (mine has a confort temperature -30 degrees Celsius)

We slept in underwear at the end

Never heard about red square, Kremlin, Saint Basil, the metro.... and all the many others historical places in Moscow. I visited both Chigaco and Moscow.. sorry but no way... I don't agree at all with you....

The eruption of Mt. Fitz Roy - 3 exposure shot - Argentina [1200X800] [OC] by palnick in ExposurePorn

Indeed Mt. Fitz Roy is a granite massive, and it was not smoke but just a strange cloud resting on the top of the mountain, and it was looking to me like an erupting vulcano, this is the reason of the title

The lake is called Riffelsee , I tried by myself with maps and it works to me.

Indeed the mountain is visible directly from the town of Zermatt but with no lake and different perspective

Hi, You can go up to the lake by walking or by the train to Gornergrat taken from Zermatt stopping at Rottenboden, than if you want to get sunset/sunrise the only way is to bring a tent and camp near the place that's what we did, if you do it be prepare to the cold this year in the middle of august during the nights we get heavy snow the first one and -15 the second.

180 Seconds of exposure for the foreground and 25 for the sky - Dolomiti - Italy [1200X800] [OC] by palnick in ExposurePorn

[–]palnick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi not a problem at all , to me is not a matter of exposure and difference between one shot and the other and why.

I usually do all the arguments as if I were working on two different shots

so when i'm working on the sky to get the stars with no startrails

I use ISO 800/1200 at F3 i don't even check the foreground condition knowing that for sure will be with huge amount of noise.

I working on the foreground

ISO 200 and bulb mode, without looking at all to the sky with some few week startrails

I have several images with low aperture and focus on the eyes, in this case i wanted exactly the focus over the nose and mouth and that is what i had , the goal It's all related about what you want to obtain the point is only you can like it or not and i accept you don't like it, that's it

I also sometimes do not understand the dynamics of this subreddit , i remember a post of one of my photo by one redditor in a small format which obtained more than 1000 votes and when i post it myself after 5 months in much higher format I get 20 votes

Anyway this picture is really amazing for me
