Photo of The Day - National GeographicFebruary 27 , 2015 The PinnaclePhotograph by Chris Prescott , National Geographic Your Shot “ We were near the summit of Sgurr Dearg , [ also called ] the Inaccessible Pinnacle , a famous feature of the Cuillin Ridge on Scotland ’ s Isle of Skye , shooting a behind - the - scenes documentary about the making of ' The Ridge , ’” writes Chris Prescott of the Cut Media short film featuring trials cyclist Danny MacAskill . “ MacAskill grew up on Skye and wanted to make a film that showed off the beauty of the island . A traverse of the full Cuillin Ridge is considered one of the classic mountaineering challenges in the U . K . The film was shot over two weeks and meant transporting a lot of filming equipment onto the ridge every day . Fortunately we were very lucky with the weather ! "“ The shoot on the Inaccessible Pinnacle was one of the key moments of the film and meant a 3 a . m . start in order to get the best light and catch the cloud inversion . This was taken at around 6 a . m . in the middle of summer , and the sun was still low in the sky . I used the shadow of the pinnacle to block the sun and create the halo effect around Danny . It was taken handheld using a 17 mm lens and a graduated neutral density filter . ” " 우리 는 ' 산마루 ( The Ridge ) ' 라는 제작 영상 에 대한 비하인드 다큐 를 찍 으면서 , 스코틀랜드 의 스카이 섬 에 있 는 쿨린 계곡 의 유명 한 바위산 인 ' 접근 불가 정상 ' 이라고 도 불리 는 ' Sgurr Dearg ' 의 꼭대기 근처 에 있 었 다 .

" 매카 스키 는 스카이 섬 에서 자랐 는데 , 그 는 이 섬 의 아름다움 을 자랑 하 는 영화 를 만들 고 싶 어 했 다 . 쿨린 계곡 을 완주 하 는 횡단 여행 은 영국 에서 고전 적 인 등반 도전 중 의 하나 로 간주 된다 . 이 영상 은 두 주일 동안 촬영 되 었 는데 , 매일 계곡 위 로 많 은 촬영 장비 들 을 운반 해야 했 기 때문 이 다 . 다행 이 우리 는 날씨 덕 을 톡톡히 보 았 다 ! " "' 접근 불가 ' 의 정상 꼭대기 를 촬영 하 는 것 은 이 영상 제작 의 주요 순간 중 하나 였 는데 , 최상 의 빛 을 얻 고 구름 으로 바뀌 는 모습 을 잡아내 기 위하 여 새벽 3 시 에 촬영 을 시작 하 였 다 . 이 사진 은 한 여름 아침 6 시 경 에 촬영 된 것 인데 , 태양 은 여전히 하늘 에 낮 게 떠 있 었 다 . 나 는 태양 빛 을 차단 하 기 위해 산꼭대기 그림자 를 이용 하 며 사이클 리스트 인 Danny 의 후광 효과 를 만들 어 냈 다 . 이 장면 은 17 mm 렌즈 와 * Graduated ND 필터 를 사용 하 며 휴대 용 카메라 로 찍 었 다 . " . .. translated by 순둥이 * A graduated neutral - density filter , also known as a graduated ND filter , split neutral - density filter , or just a graduated filter , is an optical filter that has a variable light transmission . Typically half of the filter is of neutral density which transitions , either abruptly or gradually , into the other half which is clear . It is used to bring an overly - bright part of a scene into the dynamic range of film or sensor . For example , it can be used to darken a bright sky so that both the sky and subject can be properly exposed . ND filters can come in a variety of shapes and sizes and densities and can be used in all types of photographic applications from still photography , motion photography and scientific applications . 동영상 을 감상 하 시 려면 상단 중앙 의 배경 음악 은 잠시 꺼주 세요 .
