Thanks orgraph

I really like the tonality in these two pictures.

So much nice work on your Flickr pages-- things that people walk past every day, and never see.
But you did.

. . . and Joe,

for your kind words.

Excellent shot, but a very "cold tone" print.

Thank you. I know what you mean. :-) It is not so pronounced on paper. Well, ID-78 1+1 gives me warm tones which I quite like, but for winter landscape the "suitability" is questionable. :-)

Beautiful! The warm yellows and the cool blues..i love it. I was in Wyoming in 1982 and as a teen, i didn’t think much of it...but looking at this, i would love to go back.

This is truly fabulous

It is one of the few photographs I've seen that conveys the vast empty space that are the western plains.

Hope you didn't get too wet

Thanks guys. I grew up in a big city and still live in one, but the west is calling me back.

Secret Falls III

Posted an image from this place in the MF thread, but I went back yesterday afternoon to photograph it with my 4x5. I wanted to get a more rectangular image than my 6x9 photograph so I could make a 16x20 print, and why not since it's pretty close and the weather was good. This time I brought my Chamonix and 72mm XL. I am considering titling this "Praying Tree" or something because the bare roots on the right looks so much like hands placed in prayer.



I tried to emphasize the similar, but mirrored shape of the waterfall and fallen tree. The tripod was pretty much as low as it would go and I was sitting on the ground to compose, and used a bit of front tilt and swing to move the plane of focus from the tree to the falls.

Good to go back to this place. Wonderful image, the Praying Tree is a good find and adds to this view.

Beautiful tonality Paul!

[EdSawyer]

Nice tonality and a hell of a well-done pour on that colloidion shot!

Thanks very much, Ed. I've been working on my technique a lot lately, wanting to nail things down and get it right more often than not. I seem to be succeeding!
