Carrying your tripod in hand is a satisfactory approach for some terrain; depending on its weight, it might even be a better approach. Heavy gear strapped to a pack away from your center of gravity...
I'd recommend the freezer approach. Put your lens in a Ziploc bag along with some type of rubber gripping implement (e.g. a piece of an inner tube, as suggested.) The plastic will protect the lens...
Another strategy for keeping your bare hands functional in the cold is to:
1) Let them freeze up good and solid.
2) Go inside to warm them thoroughly until the very last of the numbness abates....
The most recent Chamonix plastic 4x5 holders have an EKG (heartbeat) symbol on only one side of the dark slides. The dark slide locks are tiny (2-3mm) red buttons.
As a stepping stone, I wonder if it would be helpful to evaluate light sources by making contact prints through a polished quartz plate. They seem to be inexpensive.
On the one hand, she seems connected to people though her camera; but on the other, she seems separated from them by the same. I think eccentricity and great art often walk a lonely path.
Thanks...
That's helpful, thanks.
It occurs to me now that I misstated the problem. My problem isn't with Velvia grain, it's with the digital peppering artifacts from the Coolscan 5000. Regardless, I won't...
I learned here from Frank P that you can process TIFFs in Adobe Camera Raw. If anyone can provide tips or successful stategies for TIFF conversion in ACR I would appreciate hearing from you.

Very nice Preston! (I like it cropped to the upper panorama too.)
I have a two foot wooden ladder made by the Michigan Ladder company, model 110002. Mine weighs 7#10oz and I paid $22.99 at a hardware store in Pioneer CA on my way over the hill. I've found that...
Have a look at the large version on Flickr - it looks like "Blown-Away Man".

...and for John Olsen, a photo by Brad Wetli shot 8/6/13:

I've kayaked the Snake from Lewiston-Clarkston to the Columbia and recall that the falls are about 3 miles up the Palouse and well out of view. (It was frustrating paddling past a town named Starbuck...
I photographed at Palouse Falls State Park last week - the light was nice but the fall volume was ~20% of what you show here. I think May would strike a nice balance between light and water volume,...
It's a Sedum I believe; maybe Sedum telephinum AKA "autumn joy". Nice image.
Beautiful Mr. Jones!
Paddlling.net is a great resource: http://www.paddling.net/Reviews/
I asked a related question a few years back on photo.net. Michael Briggs provided reasoning for placing polarizing filters closest to the subject when using resin filters. Alan Davenport provided...
Peter, Since '89 some of the ghosts have begun a display of bottles and insulators behind the window of the building in your second photograph. (It's not LF so I won't post it directly:...
All the best to you Kirk, and thanks for your tireless efforts in moderation.
Robert, perhaps you are a tribal member or you have made arrangement through the Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Department (http://navajonationparks.org). If the latter is true, would you please...
Maybe someday, when you've matured enough to stop your fraudulent use of software, you'll also come to realize how perfectly contradictory your last statement is.
I've been upgrading Photoshop every other edition. For the CS4 to CS6 upgrade I paid $200 plus WA sales tax; roughly four years after upgrading I would have upgraded to "CS8" for a similar price. ...
Beautiful image Jim - the 100F palette is ideal.
I don't think that slow lenses will necessarily hinder your placement; I generally stop-down to place a grad.
Someone here recommends applying a Post-It Note directly to the GND filter to...

And there's the one with bear in the crosshairs pointing at the bear next to him. Gary Larson's work is a national treasure.
That's a compelling image Ari, and I like it just about anyway you slice it. Even an extreme crop - leaving only the upper half of your original image, slicing away the obelisk and everything below...
That's 5000 deaths by Pekinese dogs in North America alone - my!
That's is great Laurent - brought a laugh.

Why shoot a bear?
I spent eight days in the Winds two summers ago. We carried spray and food cans; hung our food, pans and garbage; cooked away from camp, and camped away from our hangs; we made noise when hiking in...
Yup - that's beautiful chassis.
Corran,
For the sunset shot I used a Pentax Digital Spot meter to survey the scene and determine that the filtered range of values would fit within Velvia's 5-stop range. That is to say, I simply...
Thanks folks!
PDM, the sun had set behind me; when I was shooting sunward I know that I had used a grad but frankly I don't remember if I used one here - kinda looks like I did, but I don't think...
Taken a few minutes after midnight of the summer solstice - Twenty Mile Creek, Turnagain Arm (Southeast Alaska) - the most glorious display of alpine lupine I've ever seen or imagined (eight seconds...
My eye was drawn to that bottom rivet too - without knowing what's below it I would be inclined to crop a third of it away. I like the simplicity of IB4 but IB3 is my favorite here.
Jim, beautiful - I bet they love it!
Presbyopia, myopia, billboard ladders and velvet ropes are not insurmountable obstacles, although I honor the latter. The only limitations I observe as a rule have to do with image corruption (e.g....
