[QUOTE="Krizob, post: 178491, member: 15762"] Thanks a lot everyone, what a wealth of advice so far. I'll definitely try out a grad ND filter, try getting a cheaper one first to test it out. I use GIMP for post processing, but am realizing now I'm probably going to have to step it up and use different/more software, or at least learn a lot more about GIMP. So far images I've sold have had very little post-processing, but as I'm getting more serious and wanting very specific shots (like this one) I'm definitely needing to do more. I'm also definitely going to experiment with HDR for shots from the ground, but when I'm hanging from a rope off a cliff, hopefully the grad ND filter will help. Also, yes I use an SB-800 flash, and also fill flash sometimes, but mostly for dramatic lighting situations as it often creates shadows on the rock or unnatural lighting, where-as for this shoot I'm going for a natural 'landscape' where the climber just so happens to be in the foreground.
