Summit Beer

Summit Beer

I took this, quite by accident, on the summit of an epic multipitch climb in Cochise Stronghold, AZ. Looks like it will be published as an ad... Funny, as none of my intentional photos have been this succesful! Lots of darkroom shenanigans to get it looking like this, though.

This is really good nicely composed shot and the darker tones of the person makes him stand out well against the background. Your right thought - It could be an advert shot for ???? beer ~ Martin
 
There's a brand of beer here in Minneapolis called 'Summit'. :smile: Nice shot. I also like the composition, where only the essentials of 'person, view, and bottle' are in the frame. Sometimes it's difficult to see those alternative views and chop somebody's head off in the composition.
 
Thanks for the kind words, guys! The beer it will be used as an ad for sadly doesn't appear to be available in the USA, though it's pretty popular in Germany.Thanks for the kind words on the composition. I'd like to think I would've taken a similar shot, but this was the last frame on the roll, and my film was back in camp, so I really don't know if I would've composed a shot like this =/
