Description
Something a little different.
This is an old one from a workshop with Marc Adamus in Glacier National Park.

We had wrapped up a sunrise shoot and were driving down some rural roads.
Marc was in the lead car and driving fast. Very suddenly, he made a U-turn and sped the way we had come from. We all followed in our cars.
Then just as suddenly came a second U-turn and he pulled over by a patch of birch trees that stood between us and the rising sun.
This was a spot he had shot before and wanted to show us a particular technique that takes full advantage of the Nikon sensor.
After short walk through brush we came to a barbed wire fence. We took turns holding the wires apart so people could fit across the fence.

The photo is not a composite or blended shot, it's just a single exposure. The shot relies on the Nikon sensor's ability to catch shadow detail, the original shot is almost completely black.
The rest is just recovering shadow detail to bring it all into color. Possible with D800 and newer sensors. We had one Canon user in the group, and unfortunately he wasn't able to make this shot work
