This is a shot - or this type of shot I am always looking for in the mountains. On a recent hike with Stephen - Silent Shooter I managed to get this. It was taken shortly after the shot entered by Steve in this month's free study. As I did not want to entere the same type of shot as his, I decided on this and also bacuase this really is a shot very close to my heart..and my wife likes it loads.
5th of April with Score on 6.78 and Im over the moon with the score. I was hoping it would make 6.5 but this is unreal and so glad people agree that this is a magic moment and place :)
Also extremely glad as we then have another shot from the Drakensberg doing very well and hopefully above 7 for Stephen.

What an image! Going through the entries this one really grabs your attention :-)
Rian I what it took to get a shot like this. I'm not sure if this is the exact way you pictured it in your mind's eye but what I do know is that it is an awesome shot. Panning with a long lens, using a fast enough shutter speed to keep bird and land sharp with the right amount of DOF... well done Mnr! And all of this whilst shivering to keep warm and after a nice hike to get to the top as well. The height from which this has been shot to overlook the mountain ranges / peaks below with the clouds rolling in and the gorgeous soft light - THIS MENEER is what the mountains are about and you have captured it magnificently!
