Yosemite Chappel

Here is an alternate take on the Yosemite chappel - taken late in

the day after my son was marrier at Lone Yellow Pine and just

before we returned to the chappel and the photograhy at the

chappel began.

 

I was trying to get the scale and atmosphere 'right'

Beautiful color. I am troubled by the hot spot from the right side of the sky. A little manipulation in Photoshop would salvage that.

 

How you use the D30 as non digital (as stated in the film usage section)?

nice composition, I like the way in which the picture cuts at a diagonal. Maybe could have found a little more detail in the dark spots. nice pic.

Been looking at Bierstadt, no? I like this composition much better than the frame filling version. Could you have gone with a slightly wider field of view? The trees at the edges are cut off, and the sliver of foreground shadow is distracting. Seems like showing more of it would likely do a nice job of balancing the cliffs.

Tricky to balance exposure across the frame. I don't think you used a grad here, but it looks like one would have helped a lot.
