Looking out the back door at work today waiting for the truck to back down the ramp
Fabulous location.
This is such a simple but fabulous scene and worth investing for just commanding this array of bright values with contrasting patterns inherent in snow-covered slopes and billowing clouds! Perhaps use portrait orientation and get more of the view either side, underexposing a stop or else bracket each exposure around -1 EV
The key here is that the snow and clouds are potentially such magnificent partners. They have very different forms. The clouds are endless soft intermixing myriads of spheres, shaded and transilluminated by the sunlight.
By contrast, the jagged snow-capped slopes of the mountains simply reflect that complex open blue and diffuse white skylight from above!
But given the extraordinary high dynamic range of the scene, good exposure is a challenge even for professionals with the best gear.
So there is need to leverage special but easy techniques to get the potentially very wide range of subtle whites and bright greys.
You also could go there after dawn and before sunset!
