FINAL PITCH<br />
F8, 1/800s, ISO125<br />
A view from my belay stance 30 metres away from the top of Mount<br />
Brewster (2,515m) in Mt Aspiring National Park. My climbing buddy Piotr,<br />
now safe on top, savoured his achievement before building an anchor<br />
to belay me up to join him. With this perspective I wanted to convey the<br />
feeling of being up high. The image is actually 3 stitched. Being very<br />
limited to my seated spot I used 3 portrait shots to catch myself as well<br />
as the scene ahead. My camera was a Lumix TZ220 - very compact -<br />
far better for mountaineering than a DSLR if you want to actually take<br />
any pictures in exposed situations like this.<br />
