brad_stock_photography 0 Posted November 6, 2004 Absolutly Brilliant. If there was one thing I could nit pick at it would be the reds look a little to hot for me. But all photography comes down to personal preferance 6/6 Link to comment
geo sun 0 Posted November 7, 2004 Eric, This is a great shot. You achieved a beautiful balance of composition by allowing the left bottom corner rocks in the frame. The boats of focus are nicely placed. If I have to pick, I think the sky is a bit over-exposed and the color hue is a bit off. Maybe caused by your scanner? I happened to visit the rockies June this year. and if you are interested, you can see my version of the boat house here. yours looks better. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2547451 Geo Link to comment
simanta 0 Posted November 7, 2004 Excellent ! Did you split the grad on the line where moutains touch the water ? I'm not very much educated, but I would have loved to see one more shot with the mountains little more exposed edit: I saw the photo once again.. and I get the feeling that may be it's best that the mountains are not exposed.. it kinda balances the picture and emphasizes the boat Link to comment
awaraagard 0 Posted November 7, 2004 brilliant. but, upper part of sky's a over exposed. fantastic colors & a winning composition. Link to comment
eric_yin 0 Posted November 8, 2004 I'm glad that you guys like it. Thanks lot for the comment.The grad line was placed a little bit above water level, the bottom of the snow mountain at far end. After Spot metering , I realized a 3 stop gnd soft would be best , but I only had a 2 stop soft and a 3 stop hard, I don't think a Hard GND is good choice for this , so I used 2 stop soft , gave up little bit highligh detail on sky and little bit shadow detail on forground mountain, a compromise. I do have another shot with half more stop open, but the red light on peak was almost washed out. The light on peak was moving so far, about 6-8 minutes from begining to end , the exposure time was about 45 seconds to 60 seconds , I only had chance to make five shots(include changing lens to make a close shot :)), the peak on fifth shoot was already half white.Also , the film is E100VS, I just corrected it, I put RVP 50 by mistake when I post.I have another photo about this boathouse was posted three years ago, It was a raining afternoon,Lake Louise in RainThanks again, appreciate for the comments.

erikadams 0 Posted November 8, 2004 Stunning. On my monitor, the reds don't look too saturated, but the overall hue is too violet. This may be the 100VS. After I shot a few rolls of this film, I decided I didn't like how it "warmed" everything; even midday shots had pink clouds. I didn't do any longer exposures, but I wonder if this effect is intensified, much as Velvia looks very blue with long exposures. This photo has a magical quality. From a composition standpoint, everything in the frame needs to be there, and nothing more is needed. Outstanding work. 7/7 Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted November 9, 2004 Perfect place to challenge the photographer. I once stood on that rock to do a similar shot. Great eye! Link to comment
