Just stunning, as is *your book*, which I have heavily bookmarked (in a non-destructive fashion) but have yet to publish my review. Glad to see that you are still shooting and producing great alpine images.

Alexandre Buisse Good to hear, still looking forward to your review.

Great perspective - it seems like you are following the helicopter in another one - like your treatment!

Alexandre Buisse Nope, I was just standing a few meters away, trying to keep the camera steady in the big blast of snow that the take off created.

Very very impressive. It looks a bit like slight HDR work or a fine use of specific tonal contrast enhancing. I like that!

Alexandre Buisse Thanks. No HDR work on this one, only minor contrast/clarity work in lightroom. The weird light effect is caused by shooting directly into the spindrift cloud created by the helicopter blades.

KPK Thanks Alexandre!
