I love the mist off of the islands in the background, this is a nice shot, did you happen to shoot something like a 300mm or 450mm on those islands? The must is so peaceful :)

I also love the Lilly pads in this image, ties it together in a way.

That's really nice, Erik. The White Rim lives up to its name!

Just glad it didn't burn down your home:)

Ferns and a Fallen Tree, 4x5 Fuji Velvia 50

I'm quite proud of this exposure. When I was in the Smokies a few weeks back, it was an overcast day following rain...the greens were out of this world. I passed this particularly vivid spot on my hike it, but decided to photograph it on my way out if I had time. A few hours later, the clouds were beginning to break. I came back to this spot and set up my camera as fast as I ever have. I quickly metered for around 2 minutes (with polarizer) and opened the shutter. I could tell that it wouldn't last the full 2 minutes before my scene was in direct sunlight though...the clouds were moving quickly. I watched as the bright sun made its way toward my through the forest. About a minute in, the first bits of light hit the right side of my composition. I closed the shutter and mourned the loss of a sheet of precious Velvia. Later on the hike I decided I would have the lab push it a stop just for giggles; I'd never done that with Velvia. When the transparency returned, I was blown away...perfect exposure!

I use a polarizer a lot for scenes with Velvia50, but why in this shot?
