A truly exotic looking location. I can't imagine anything looking like that in Cali. Nice one!Quote:

Valentine's Day and all those single row tracks in the snow.
Did someone forget the flowers and was banished to the woods? :) :)

Unfortunately, while hiking that day, a few of those lonely tracks happen to be mine, because the image did not present itself with the setting sun, until I returned to the crest of the hill.
Again, gentlemen thank you for your comments.

Wow! This could make me like snow... :)Quote:

The golden glow is the reflection of the far sunlit moss covered wall, and the blue foreground is where there is just open shade/skylight illuminating the water due to the angle of the water flow (no reflection of the far wall). Hope this helps!
Another great image Jim, and another reminder why we should look for images in full sun.Quote:

Then when I've found the right spot and set up the camera I see that my own footprints are now in the photograph.Quote:

Doing a lot of coastal work will force one to develop methods around this problem. I used to get very upset with myself when I was spending a lot of time out there. Fields of grass present a similar problem. In general, its good to start wide and then move in, when time permits.
Sometimes a human presence fits the idea, and then other times when it detracts. In Jim's case, the later story makes the image more intriguing, a sort of visual record of his thought processes.:D
And, I believe, right beside the 7th hole :DQuote:

As fate would have it, I left my mark, and Ken you are correct, but I love playing that course without the snow.

That's great, David. I love the purples that can be captured in slot canyons.
Yes, beautiful David - and on Astia!
Well seen, David.
Thanks! I thought I had lost these slides, but I found them at the bottom of a box over Christmas.
I like that a lot, Chris; the focus looks absolutely spot on. What is the building at the top?Quote:

I have a tighter shot from there too - mine's got a faint spider's web in the upper right corner of the scoop! It's linked here.
Jim, I also like your image. I wish the snow would stay here on the trees long enough for me to get a shot like that.
This is the first slot canyon photo that I ever liked.
Many of them say too much, include too much, and are thus too literal and tedious.
Yours has plenty to show, but still manages to employ understatement and innuendo.
Bravo Maestro !
Yes, that first one in particular is very good David.
Dear David,
Your images have a beautiful soft and colourful palette... :)
Well done.

This is another image from that day...

This one dances in the cold. I think it's the undulating fence. And the wavy willow branches.Quote:

My 2 cents:
Perhaps now we're up against the limits of monitors and web browsers, and how faithfully they render images.
In the first one, we see the subject from a slight distance. We regard it as we might admire a beautiful sculpture in a gallery, illuminated from above.
In the second image, we are almost inside the subject, so it's more intimate, even though it's also more sweeping. There are fewer visual cues for depth and size, so the image is more abstract. So there's an inherent "tension" between different factors. You might say it's a more challenging photo to make, because it's more dependent on... nuances.
I just had another look, the next day, and now like the second image much more.
It's more intimate, it breathes. It has a less obvious mystery than the first, but in the end, is even more mysterious.
It has more... music. :)
Brilliant Jim.Quote:
