I’ve heard about this park with those pods. I’ll have to visit.

I didn't get into the Merced but stayed at the edge of the shoreline so the only thing that got wet were the soles of my boots. Watkins had an easier time as far as finding a compositional vantage point. His was taken in the early morning when the Merced was not flowing as fast and I think he chose that point because it offered a reflection of the column in the foreground. That view is no longer available. Mine was taken on the opposite side of the river and a little further up. If you double click on Watkins photo you'll see that the Merced bends to the left in an inverted U shape. That flat open space you see is where the Awahanee hotel stands today and I took the shot there between the tree and what appears to be a large boulder. Because the river bends there I believe that they dredged that area and placed large boulders to shore-up the shoreline to protect the hotel from floods. That would explain the river beds sudden drop-off. Although it was flat and clear back then like today, I don't think that it offered for the reflection that he wanted.Quote:

This is not a scan of a print but a raw scan of the negative that was shot on 17 July 2014 (1/8' @ f22 -1/3 with a UV filter). I came across the negative yesterday when reviewing unprinted 4x5 negatives.Quote:

Szabad 4x5, Super Angulon 90/8, Portra400
First tries with Portra400 after giving up on Ektar100.
No, I never became friend with Ektar. Didn't like the magenta cast and blue shadows, and the need to nail the exposure almost like slide film. Sort of wanted to like it but never did.
This is something very different, much more to my taste and more workable. Feels really good.
Nice relaxing image.Quote:

Looks like the Portra-400 did an admirable job, retaining rich color and preserving many shadow details, too.

Stunning image! Amazing composition and beautiful gradation of colors. Well done!Quote:
