Russia. North of Ladoga Lake. Karelia.

Very nice, and quite different from any landscape I've been in. I should stare at this and put on some Sibelius.

Olmsted Point in Yosemite Nat'l Park.

Very nice bbuszard! I love the views from Olmsted Point, and I love the way you've pulled the scene together!

I have a couple photographs from Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada - I stopped off with friends back in May on our way to Zion. Both Tachihara 4x5 shots on Velvia 50 (color toned down slightly). I wasn't sure whether to post these with landscapes or abstracts, but they felt more at home here.

Neat! I'd like to see the originals, not toned down, out of curiosity.

+1, Let's see the real color or original without editing.

Thanks, and nice pictures for you as well. I haven't been to Zion since the `90s, but remember that part of Utah fondly. I haven't been to this state park, though. I presume from the name that it's either very hot, very dry, very red, or all three.

Without editing? Man, that's hard to nail down with a digital/scanned workflow. But I went back to my file (well, just for the one) and I had 3 separate adjustment layers that toned down the eye-burning reds, so I eliminated those. The final photo is still quite saturated, but without toning it down a bit I didn't care for it.

Thanks! And you are right on all accounts, Valley of Fire was very hot, very dry, and very red - the fire trifecta!

Thanks for posting.

On an image like that the crazy color makes it even more interesting in my eyes, personally. Both neat looking though.

Yes, i also like that saturated scan, but as Bryan said, both are neat.
