Mitras Hill, by Joaquín Alonso Arellano Ramírez

Mitras Hill is one of the many hills surrounding Monterrey. Earlier 2011, I did hiking (a trip of 6-8 hours) with two other friends on this hill and the view to 1.700 meters is fantastic!. I used my 35mm to cover all the hill and was a little difficult to get the correct exposure and color contrast that I wanted without use Photoshop, after some shots, I got the “best” shot I could get considering I didn’t use a filter (not the best idea of course).

Nikon D5000 with an AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G | Exposure: 1/4000sec at f/5.6 | ISO: 200 | Focal length: 35mm | Trend exposure: -5 EV
