anish 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Great light from a recent trip to the Owens Valley. Thanks for any comments. Link to comment
James G. Dainis 302 Posted October 11, 2010 Very nice. I like how the sky color also goes over the distant mountains. Link to comment
hopsage 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Yes, the light in this is truly brilliant. I think I'd like to see a bit less of a cyan cast in the foreground rabbitbrush, but I tend toward the Maxfield Parrish aesthetic of serious warm tones for morning light. Beautifully done. Link to comment
whydangle 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Excellent sky Anish!! Love the Rabbit Brush as a foreground interest. Round Valley is a great place to be when the sky lights up. If you are up in one of the canyons, you can get blocked out from catching this kind of sky. The last time I was near Bishop, I shot around Bentons Crossing. Being out in the open valley gives you the opportunity to shoot 360 degrees. When I come back next week I may just stay away from the throngs of leaf peepers, especially if the skies are promising. I may also spend some time along the Owens River Gorge road. Lots of interesting landscapes there. If the fall colors are peaking, well then I will be looking for something out of the way. I will be looking for Upper Summers Meadow. Are you familiar? I will be shooting on my own and I truly don't want to be squeezed out by some photography workshop when the light is good!

anish 0 Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks, guys.John, I did my best to reproduce the colors as I remember seeing them. It could be a monitor thing, but to my eye I'm not seeing too much cyan here. I also tend not to push the warmth too much, as I've found it can easily look contrived.Mark, Owens Valley is indeed a wonderful place to be and to photograph. I'm not familiar with Summers Meadow, but then there are probably countless spots there that I have yet to discover. It's only a 4 hour drive for me, so I'll have many more opportunities!Anish Link to comment
esteban Rios 18 Posted October 12, 2010 Really it is a beautiful picture, the colorful is very nice, the pink in the clouds is so pretty and makes a nice contrast with the greens. Good perspective and good job.Regards. Link to comment
