Crater Lake

This has got to be the most fantastic image of Crater Lake that I have seen yet!

Quelle beaut鬠quand la nature et la photographie se rencontrent...Superbe !!

Another fine capture Marc. I wouldn't worry about the ratings really. Why not just post for critique only? Anyway, *YOU* surely know this is a good image and not, in anyone's books, a 4/4. The personal problems that some rater might have are nothing to do with the quality of your work, they are completely separate issues and entirely unrelated. I've received a few 3/3s lately and honestly it makes me giggle. And I don't think that's being "big headed" of me.

I do post for "Critique Only" and have for quite a while now. Ratings are pointless, absurd, and no one could learn anything from them.

Marc, your hard work has paid off in spades here. Just an amazing landscape. You've captured it all in this image. Great tones, great light, great composition. Simply amazing work. As for morons rating any of your work 4/4, well ... they're morons. -David

The condition there should have been very difficult and taking such magnificent shot more than difficult !. Great capture !.

I want to see it bigger, it's so wonderful...wow!

 

7/7

Brilliant shoot! Intresting to here your story about taking this photo.

Oh that light is just beautiful! Wonderful shot!

I've personally been there and pieced together a panarama of the lake. It's no where near as beautiful as this image. Big congrats on capturing this beautifully large landscape.

Just wonderful, Marc! The filters really helped you in getting the right look.

Awesome picture! A great capture of a spectacular place. I was just there with the family last week.

 

Glad you are hanging around P-net and sharing your pictures with us. Very inspirational. Thanks...

Marc...fabulous rendition of an extremely difficult natural subject. Yes, whatever it takes, that is what the truely amazing images require. Thanks for having the persistence to capture the shot and then sharing it with the rest of us! Congrats on a job well done, Marc Schneider

This picture is classic example of right place on right time with right gear., Great.

Marc, you are a true master of light!

Amazing colour, razor sharp and incredibly carming but on a large scale.

Simplemente increible. Felicidades

Wow!! This is really beautiful. Definately the BEST Crater Lake picture I have EVER seen. I have been there many times, but have never seen it like this.

Excellent. Leanna :O)

Wonderful colors. Looking at this photograph I can feel as I am there in the cold silence, thinking how could that moment be kept in a so EXCELLENT shot.

This is obviously a beautiful photo, it captures the magnificence of crater lake (if you've ever been there you know then it's not an easy thing to do). But, it does more than that for me. It inspires me to drop everything else in my life and pick up my camera and become passionate about photography. I hope one day to take an awe-inspiring photo like this one. Thanks so much for posting it Marc, it's inspired me.

(7/7, not that you care about ratings :)

Very inspiring. As a beginner photographer, it's images like this that motivate me to want to get out to nature and keep learning about photography until I can one day take a picture like this one.

Better is possible?

A rare feast for the eyes !, an extraordinary photo of an extraordinary place. This kind of result really worth the efforts and hardworks of getting to such a place.

I wish i was this good a photographer to capture something as beautiful as this. One of the prettiest photos i have ever seen.

Fantastic Shot ! Regarding the ND filter its good execution but of course its noticeable, I've always wished for a ND wash I could paint onto a glass filter exactly where I want the neutral density to appear... some may think that idea is nutty, but it would allow film and image sensors to more faithfully replicate what the eye sees because otherwise bright areas get washed out and dark ones disappear. The only problem would be the extra time it would take, but if you were set up and anticipating a dawn shot like this one, there might be ample time.

 

Beautiful quality of reflection on the water. Pertaining to the sky, does your camera lose the detail in the bright highlights like mine does? I'm shooting digital and no matter what I do, I lose detail which is very visible to the naked eye in my sunrise and sunset shots- I'm wondering if you recall if the brightest area of this shot had more detail in it in so called, "real life" ?

 

Keep up the excellent work!
