Large Format Landscapes

Rick - thank you, that's really helpful.

Luc, I love your other landscapes, but I'm definitely not sold on this one. Where your other ones are full of tone, this one os so heavy with the black silhouette of the mountains. They're too big and dominating in this image, I feel, to successfully work as a silhouette.

But seriously, great job on the other ones. Spectacular!

That said I did not take the LF gear everyday on our hikes. Weight is of course a reason but set-up time and patience of my family is another one.

I missed the golden hour for that one, but after leaving so much blood to the mosquitos, I was not going to go back empty handed. SO I had the idea of a high contract instead of a nicely toned. Not sure I am fully sold on it...

The Snake Range from the Long Now campsite. I tried an odd composition in this one, with a big blank area that I'd usually avoid. I'm not sure it's successful, but it is at least a change of pace from my usual.

Hi Bradley,

It showed up in both posts for me.

Increased contrast on the second one which appeals to me more.

Weird. I get one of those not-available blank white areas. The first post is redundant now in either case, and I'd delete it if I could find a way to do so. If a mod happens by, please feel free to terminate it with extreme prejudice.

I get not available for the first one too.

Thanks Graham. Not much credit for me to be taken. The Canadian Rockies are so beautiful that very little needs to be done. If anything I do not do them justice.

Well you know it is about new things, you just have to try them until yo0u make them work so more practise ahead...

In the meantime, more of my bread and butter :)

ps: I had quite a nice day with pictures of old barns and shacks around Chilliwack today. Some of them you can almost take from your car, so you could take the 8x10 out no problem.

Cheers,

Luc

That happens when you replace a photo on Flickr or you edit it with Picknic. It's a drag. I wish Flickr kept the original URL or edit was possible here on LFPF.
