thanks Ed I took two shots and the first was under exposed. The second was only one stop difference and I had told the developer I suspected both were under developed.

He told me he " pushed " the second one ( the one I posted ). I never knew such a technique existed , which tells me two things. One, I have a lot to learn and two the best way to learn is to take shots.

cheers Andrew

Here's some shots from Mono Lake and Yosemite Valley

I suppose you could call this architecture just as well as landscape. The iconic House on Fire in Cedar Mesa.

This was taken in late July or early August on Hermit Pass in the Sangre de Cristo mountains under light rain.

LOL, that's the perfect name for it. What a beauty of an image! :)

I've seen a few 100% digital versions of this house. Yours is 100% better. Does the house always look like this or only at certain times of the day? I'm assuming sunrise or more proably sunset is best?

Combine House on Fire with Falling Roof and you get a great double header.

Try to be there before noon in the late morning depending on the time of year. The light is reflected from the opposite canyon wall. It loses all it's glory in direct light. This pic captured the scene very nicely. It's called "house on fire" but it should be called "closet on fire":) It is a tiny little space, it's deceiving.

You're much too kind. Its just my mediocre attempt at a scene that has been shot many times before me, and probably composed much better by others. The only advantage I feel film holds over digital here is the ability to hold detail in the fire reds and oranges where digital capture so easily clips the red channel.

What often happens in the Colorado Plateau is that reflected light intensifies the glow of the sandstone. This was shot near mid-day when light hits the slab below the house but does not reach the house itself. The house is in a relatively deep alcove. The time when ruins or canyon walls glow is dependent on their orientation, but many reach the zenith of their intensity near mid day.
