This one's astounding. I've always wanted to take a picture like this. How did you set up your camera to achieve it?

I'm glad you like it! I took it with a film SLR but the concept should be the same. Since the camera has a built in light meter which it uses to set the exposure for the image, I "tricked" it by metering off of the bright sky. Basically, I underexposed the image by having a fast shutter speed. This wiped out all the detail in the initial ridge line.

That... And a whole lot of luck! :)

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to trying it someday.
