Tuesday evening, there were again good conditions to photograph the two towers from my balcony.

Pyramids in Switzerland?

Photo taken in the region of Charmey, in the canton of Fribourg on June 23, 2022. I see several pyramids in this landscape... One of them has a strangely flat top, at the bottom right.

ISO 100, f/16.0, 1/15 s, 83 mm

A view of a peak of the Three Sisters of Glencoe last winter.
This is one of my favourite images, the moment was fleeting. I was actually running on 1 hour of sleep after doing a night shoot of the Buachaille Etive Mor (Stob Dearg) mountain.
When the sun came up, it pulled all the details of this scene and I just couldn't resist it. It looks fantastic in monochrome with the extreme contrast between light and dark.
I noticed a dark cloud heading towards the peak so I waited until it was positioned perfectly in my composition.

Editing didn't require much at all. Basic retouching and mostly dodging & burning to really pull out all of the details.

Camera: Sony A7R
Lens: Sony 24-240mm

Shutter Speed: 1/200s (to darken the strength of the sun and to avoid camera wobble as I was shooting at full range and positioned on spongy ground)
ISO: 160 (forgot to change it to 100, got excited by the scene!!)
