Large Format Landscapes

This is a fascinating image. What lens did you use? Did you use a center filter?

Thanks! I believe i used a normal lens - 150mm schneider. No center filter, just a polarizer to reduce glare on the slippery rocks. There's a nice 900 feet drop just a few steps away

Good grief... REALLY?? It looks like a super-wide with the camera angled down and lots of front rise.

Nice and crisp. I have an M.P.P. too a, Mk VIII.

That's a nice photograph.

Scott S: Those three little ones are from the del Muerto side of the Canyon de Chelly system. I think all with a 450mm Nikkor.

Ah! I remember having the camera at my height, to have the puddles well defined, and aiming a bit down indeed. Now, the lens could have been a 90mm but I don't think so

I'd bet good money it was a 90mm or wider.

At any rate, it's an inspiring image.

Nice to have access to such a great vantage point.

It's okay but not the best for (interesting) photos. You can't get anywhere - this whole area has no way to reach it and it's too deep to wade through. That boardwalk is a very small outcropping from the main walking area which has chicken wire protecting it as this is also where the alligators are frequently (I saw two yesterday) - sometimes they sun right on that walkway. The wildlife management area is actually just a flight zone and bombing range for the air force base (which is just to the left of this image, about a half mile away). Here is a shot from a different direction:



So you can see it's more or less all the same! When the sandhill cranes are migrating though it's a good place for birding.
The boardwalk that gets to the tower is about a 1/2 mile and is mostly just walls of cypress and pine with little visual interest. I tried a forced perspective image yesterday by tilting the camera down and using as much front rise as I could get out of it, but it wasn't all that great. This shows the wall of trees though:



Occasionally smaller things jump out at me like the lilypad photo I posted elsewhere. But generally this area has gotten dull for me. I know it probably looks exotic to someone not from around here but it's certainly worn thin for me. The closest state park is another 30 miles up the road and is kind of similar, really small and just a boardwalk in the forest. There are some nice coastlines in GA/FL but they are 2-3 hours away from me unfortunately! The local river and flooding has been of more interest to me though.
