Really nice landscapes, Luc.

Luc - I have nothing helpful or insightful to add, other than to mention that I am once again a fan of your photographs. I think the Abbot Pass photo in particular is outstanding (but they all are).

Thanks for sharing! It borders between inspiring me to go out and shoot more, or not at all because I have so much to learn.

Luc's mountain shots are what I like to call Crispy Creams - images with a nice amount of screen-friendly sharpening and creamy grey tonality at the same time. I can't find anything not to like, they really pop off the screen!

Ok guys now you are going to make me blush
Thanks a lot for the kind comments specially for a newbie in LF.
I will try to remember them for these gloomy moments when inspiration is at zero, weather is to rain and you feel like you have shot already everything in your vicinity

Once again thank you all - now I have no other choice than to print them and start rotating pictures on my walls.

Cheers,

Luc

Superb images Luc. Thanks for sharing.

HP4+? I take it that's either a typo for FP4+ or HP5+?

Ok I can never reconcile myself. This is HP5 but I also shoot FP4

I really do like this one...I just wish the woman in the lower left corner was more in it. This photo really gives an impression of enormity, and if the woman were more into the picture, she would be a more powerful -- but still dwarfed -- foreground.

It looks like you kind of didn't want to include her in the image...but I think she is a very welcomed element.

A great image an a great writeup on the story. I get the impression you might be familiar with libertarianism?

I'm glad I wasn't harassed while taking this picture of a corn field in Canandaigua, NY:

That's a shame Nathan. For me, that experience would suck all the joy out of an image. Don't know what I'd do if I found myself in such a situation. I'd probably offer them an 8X10. If that didn't soothe them, I'd tell them to go ahead and call the police.

I hate property ownership, especially the arrogance of property ownership. The idea of a person owning thousands of acres and having complete control over who can step onto it. Personally, I think the government should own all the land and just lease it to people...treaspassers welcome.

Of course, the gov't did own all that land after they took it away from the indians. They gave it away to the asshat's great granddad. And now you can't even take a picture of it.

Dont blame us - you just chose the wrong set of great grandparents.

Thank you.

No she is my cousin and I wanted to include her but I had five problems:
1) she never stops moving (hyperactive girl...) and she was up and down the embankment but I did not want her posing
2) the other shot I took there is too much corner distortion so she looks like a mutant
3) when framed entirely on the ground glass she was looking too predominant and I did not think that I would get the effect that I wanted i.e. dwarfed by the mountain, looking in awe at the amazing scenery...
4) I did not want to include too much of the embankment/road i.e. there is only one spot where somebody can be seen in full on the framing and she moved (see (1) )
5) maybe I should have carried my 75mm as there was not much room to maneuver (side of a busy road to the pass)

Cheers,

Luc

Luc, I really like your recent photos. I tend to do almost 90% of my photography in the mountains so share your passion for the rock and ice. Who said all the mountain shots should have red peaks and be colored?
