Large Format Landscapes

[Ken Lee]

Thank you very much.

It can be helpful to go back over older images and re-do some of them. It's remarkable how things can appear, once we've had a chance to forget all about our original "pre-visualization" - and with 5 more years of experience.

Also, the same image can be either dull or exciting, depending on print size: this one needs to be a bit large, because the content, so to speak, is in the details. Using the "right" method of sharpening is critical too. It has taken 5 years to learn more about that too.

Very nice tonality. Is the rock really that dark? In this rendering it looks volcanic.

I'm sure they did but I'm a sucker for these kinds of pictures.

aweful lotta black in this shot no matter what you exposed it at with velvia.

I don't know, I kind of like it like that. Of course I have a life long love affair with the sky, so to me it's more about the sky than the foreground, with this wonderful colorful sky over a dark, brooding and somewhat mysterious foreground. More exposure would have made a very different and no doubt more realistic image, but I'm not sure I'd have liked it better, just different.
