This is Christopher Gishler, a Whitehorse-based climber (he's attempted Mount Logan, Canada's highest mountain) and owner of Equinox Adventure, who yearly creates a giant ice wall in Whitehorse. Lighting nerd stuff: this was lit using a single White Lighting studio head modified by a beauty dish (double-diffused by a silk/sock). Background under-exposed by several spots through an f/22 aperture to reign in the sun and give it that star-burst effect. ISO 50, F/22, 1/200-second exposure. via 500px http://ift.tt/1KSonoB
