Mer De Glace - a photo on Flickriver

Mer De Glace

            This was taken before Sunrise on the third day of the Alps trip with Simon Roppel above Chamonix in the area of France bordering Switzerland.  This is another stunning location in series of stunning locations that we visited on this trip, though one of the few actually popular viewpoints even though we were the only photographers there.  This was one of the most difficult shoots I’ve ever done and frankly I’m amazed I came out with anything decent.  We got up around 2:30 AM and hiked up a ridge in the dark trying to find compositions.  I was hoping to shoot the stars this morning but the moon was out in force and ruled out that plan.  Anyways, I ended up doing a little 3 shot pano just as the sun was about to show itself.
