Stay away from anywhere "shooters" go...

And don't eat the yellow snow...

Completely agree with Dakotah Jackson. I have also seen hundreds if not thousands of images from the Wave and the slot canyons in the same area but i would still love to take a stab at it and if lucky have something for the wall.
Because so many images have been made already does not mean that what nature created it is not beautiful and very unique. I am not sure if i would ever post anything from and area like the Wave because it has been done so much but i could still have one for my own enjoyment.
It takes something new and different to be creative for me and the colors alone are so different than what can be found in the NW. Green is nice but it does get old too.

I wouldn't mind shooting in Yos Valley this time of year, but the
one thing that would keep me from it is that I like the lower hill country so much better
in the Spring, and you never see other photographers around there - they're all too busy
rushing to the official scenic turnouts higher up.

No, never.

Bring a green filter (to add contrast to red sandstone).

Developed a 4x10 neg on Wednesday that has Half Dome as a central part of the image. Taken from a place where tens of thousands of cameras have been set up (not Sentinal Bridge nor Tunnel View ) . Might even print it in platinum. Its my image, goddangit, and I'll print it if I want to! LOL!

That's the spirit!

Ansel himself, who purposely stood in the footprints of Carleton Watkins and Timoty O'Sullivan to make images of his own, once said the only reason to do anything (artistically) was to do it better than anyone else.

Thanks, but to hell with that -- I just want to do it better than I have done before! I'll compete with myself, but to compete with other artists is wasted energy.

sorry -- just finished my glass of Johnny Walker...

and thinking of a refill, some dinner, then off to pour carbon tissues...

and listening to this for the nth time,,,

Vaughn, You really should try some Single Malt, it will make your carbon prints sing even more

ROL, Vaughn, that's the way I see it also. Everything has been done before us as far as landscape scenes go, but I haven't done it all yet and that's all I care about at this point and I shamelessly enjoy it
