Description
Hello!
This is a picture of the night of the 5th march 2011... A night spent under the stars on the summit of the Brevent in the Chamonix valley in french Alps...
We were front of the Mont Blanc, the highest summit of the Alps, an amazing scenery.
The mountains remains enlighted by the lights of the town in the valley, giving a really particular athmosphere.
The sky was amazingly clear, only the summit of the Mont Blanc was clouds covered.
A great remember
Canon EOS 5D mkII - EF 17-40 - tripod - 30sec @ f4 and 1600iso - headlight for the tent lighting

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactVery few photographies are able to come close to perfection and this shot is among those.
You are immediately captured into the scene as soon as you start looking at this photo. The yellow tent first, then this dark blue infinite sky and of course the summits. Finally, the deep, cold snow into which the photographer will have to spend the night... The mountain feeling is everywhere here and this photo is the perfect combination of an extremely aesthetic image and a fascinating story telling.
Technically, the mastery of the exposure is right on : the tent is not burned out, the sky colour and the stars are well revealed and the shadows are not too dense. To finish, the composition has of course been calculated with a lot of care : the position of the tent, the right surface for the sky and this nice diagonal rising from the left to the right side.
All in one, a captivating and absolutely superb night / mountaineering shot. All my congratulations to Xavier Jamonet for this masterpiece !
