Lyndell Daniel, Hiking to the summit at 4000m (March Theme: Above)

I wanted to take this photo to try and capture the solitude and effort to climb to the summit at an altitude of 4000m. The aim was to try and capture the starkness created by the white snow and the vast distance with only the snow in site, to achieve this feat. Nikon D7200 camera. Sigma 18.0-300...f/3.5-6.3 lens. Exposure 1/250 sec at f /13. Focal Length 130mm. ISO 100. Cropped and white balance adjusted in Lightroom.
