Mt Ngungun, by Paul Carpenter. I arrived at the summit of Mt Ngungun to find the peak already crowded with sightseers, so as the sunset developed I quickly ventured down the northern slope to find some different framing for Mt Beerwah and Mt Coonowrin.

I arrived at the summit of Mt Ngungun to find the peak already crowded with sightseers, so as the sunset developed I quickly ventured down the northern slope to find some different framing for Mt Beerwah and Mt Coonowrin.
A number of exposures were required to capture the wide dynamic range of the scene.

Finding your own version of a much-photographed scene can be a real challenge.
Photographer Paul Carpenter not only succeeded on that front, he also managed to tame a very tricky exposure problem in an impressively graceful fashion.
The lighting in his multi-image composite has the sort of natural “feel” that all too frequently eludes landscape shooters employing the same high dynamic range technique.
