Is that Spider rock?
I'm in awe of the talent of photographers in this forum.

Beautiful layering, and intrigue. Its tough to get both a briliiant cloud as well as a subtle fog area to read nicely. Your work is great.Quote:

Duane,
Well worth the scramble, very nice indeed!
Thanks very much, John and Christopher, for your kind comments.
Wow! Seeing all these landscapes is inspiring me to develop some negatives so I can make some prints. I have a bit of a backlog too.
Gosh, Ian nice photo but you're not a Forrester are you?Quote:

A classic landmark on the road to Lake Louise, Alberta.
As a side note, this mountain was called Mount Eisenhower after WWII, in honour of General Eisenhower, and the associated junction at Highway 93 and Highway 1, was known as Eisenhower Junction too.

Jim,
You're killing me. It's been over 10 years since we were in the Banff-Jasper-Yoho neighborhood. That's too long to be away. Thanks for reminding me just how fantastic the area is.
Jim,
GREAT image. Brings back vivid memories of a 1974 early start one-day climb with a buddy for sunset color photos from the summit with glassy air. Feeling fulfilled, started the descent at last sunlight, was dusk when we unroped. My friend took off his crampons (kept mine on) at the lower part of the glacier, then took one step and went horizontal in midair and was able to arrest his 100-foot slide just before hitting the rocks. He was OK. Yup, those were the days!

Jim, I love the image. What filter did you use for this image?Quote:

This part of the world can be magical, and treacherous too. Mountaineers, such as yourself Jerry, do love to scale the various eastern slopes, and Wayne, you should take a few days to revisit the area within the next decade.
As for the filtration question, MyNikonLens, I have not used a filter for several years...
Again, thank you.

Oh, tremendous image!
Thanks JR, David, & Jim, its great to get reinforcement.
I waited for a large cloud to pass over and took the shot as the sun was getting filtered through the edge of the cloud, as you observed, JR. Concerning filtering, the yellow flowers have been a problem as their observed brilliance gets dulled in the b/w process. Yellow and orange filters haven't worked as the grass and flowers seemed to merge, but for this shot a red filter seemed to give a better separation between the green and yellow, interestingly. I had to sort this out through trial and error.
90% of the vineyards around here are trellis'd and have irrigation tubes running all over the place, but there are a few that are left in the old style where they're left to grow in their own natural shape such as this one. Planted in 1900 by immigrant Italians, I would guess, as there was a big group that came here around then.
Here's one from Columbia Bottom Conservation Area in 2008. Charten whole plate camera, Crown Anastigmat Series I, 6˝x8˝ (I call this lens 270 mm), HP5+, ISO 400, 1/2 sec., f/22, developed in Pyrocat-HD.

Excellent work above. Diane's surreal observation platform looks like something from The War of the Worlds. The reflection image from Guilin has a wonderful lightness of tone which must make a large print something special to see. And I particularly like to river of mercury from Torres del Paine; perhaps one day I can make that hike also.

Ah, your bringing back memories. I lived on Wonderstump Road and spent many hours on Mill Creek. Can't post any here cause they are MF. This is a wonderful photo taken in a difficult place to work. Though surrounded by stupendous beauty and grandeur, creating a unified composition with a related focal point is challenging in the density of this forest. Bravo.Quote:
