Thanks for sharing! It borders between inspiring me to go out and shoot more, or not at all because I have so much to learn. :)
Luc's mountain shots are what I like to call Crispy Creams - images with a nice amount of screen-friendly sharpening and creamy grey tonality at the same time. I can't find anything not to like, they really pop off the screen! :)
Ok guys now you are going to make me blush :o
Thanks a lot for the kind comments specially for a newbie in LF.
I will try to remember them for these gloomy moments when inspiration is at zero, weather is to rain and you feel like you have shot already everything in your vicinity :(
Once again thank you all - now I have no other choice than to print them and start rotating pictures on my walls.
Cheers,
Luc

A great image an a great writeup on the story. I get the impression you might be familiar with libertarianism?Quote:

That's a shame Nathan. For me, that experience would suck all the joy out of an image. Don't know what I'd do if I found myself in such a situation. I'd probably offer them an 8X10. If that didn't soothe them, I'd tell them to go ahead and call the police.Quote:

Of course, the gov't did own all that land after they took it away from the indians. They gave it away to the asshat's great granddad. And now you can't even take a picture of it.Quote:

3) when framed entirely on the ground glass she was looking too predominant and I did not think that I would get the effect that I wanted i.e. dwarfed by the mountain, looking in awe at the amazing scenery...
4) I did not want to include too much of the embankment/road i.e. there is only one spot where somebody can be seen in full on the framing and she moved (see (1) :D )
5) maybe I should have carried my 75mm as there was not much room to maneuver (side of a busy road to the pass)

Luc, I really like your recent photos. I tend to do almost 90% of my photography in the mountains so share your passion for the rock and ice. Who said all the mountain shots should have red peaks and be colored?
