Many very cool images in this thread, makes my cable-release-button-finger (is that a proper phrase?) itch.



A fairly recent effort from the end of what looked like it was going to be a very dull day's shooting.

This is one of the few times I've headed up to an alpine lake and not checked the alt/azimuth info for sunrise against the topo. I miss calculated how the shadows would fall and had to adjust as the sun was rising.

I'd love to get some feedback if one stands out from the group to you.

A single coated 75/8 super angulon was used for all. A 3 stop soft GND was used as well on all the images.

All of the above.

Lenses used?

[venchka]

Duh! There is the lens info.
While all are great, the last two grab me the hardest. I thought perhaps you had used a longer lens.

i lik ethe last three better than the 1st. was the 1st just the earliest so it had the most purple (blue cast) or maybe an adjustment of the C41 film in PS?

[Diane Maher]

I like the purple in the first. However, all of these great color images have me wanting to get out with some color film. It is good to see examples of the Ektar as I have some in my refrigerator.

All and any comments welcome.

I think your online presentation of your images would be greatly improved if you abandoned the use of the faux frame and over matt. I find the use of those to be a great distraction which adds nothing to support the viewing enjoyment of your images.

Wow! What a great collection of shots - quite the morning of shooting. I think the 3rd works for me best - I prefer it subtly over the similar 4th. (The mountains at the left edge of the frame look 'grittier' and just more dramatic to me, and near the center of the frame the mountains look like they're starting to blow out and lose detail just a little in the 4th, whereas the detail seems preserved in the 3rd very nicely).

I do love that first bit of light catching the peaks on the 1st though.
