Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?

Having seen so many breathtaking images of the unique Kirkjufell mountain over the years, I was determined to capture my own. On my trip to Iceland in the middle of winter, driving for a couple of hours through an intense blizzard, unable to see the car ahead apart from a faint glow of brake lights, I made it to the base of the mountain at the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Conditions seemingly worsened as I arrived and with heavy rain and snowfall, I ventured on to climb the mountain. I set up my tripod, slid on some ND filters and composed my shot, framing two small waterfalls in the foreground with the unique mountain in the background and captured one of my favourite images to date.
