Wrangell Mountains 3


aepelbacher

Taken about 4:00 p.m. Used a monopod. Adjusted and cropped in Photoshop cs. Yes, I know that 800 speed film is not optimal for landscape photography. I am working on composition and am also working within a budget. I used 400 and 800 speed film for this entire trip in Alaska merely for the flexibility ... I wanted to be able to shoot a couple of pics of a mountain then of a bear then of a building in changing weather conditions (often overcast) and with different length lenses without having to change out film. Thanks for the comments on film ... next time I go to Alaska (!!) I will take some 100 ISA with me!

I'm sure the art critics wouldn't like the foreground, Lou Ann, but I like it because life in the mountains defies abstractions. There is a river to be crossed and many miles of woods to walk through before we can get to the base and start the ascent.

 

Yep.

I agree with Lannie - asthetically speaking, there isn't much in the foreground of interest; however, to not include it leaves out some important elements of this area. I guess it depends if you are going for "art" or for "reality". Sometimes you can get both, but often you can't.

This scene very much represents Alaska. The river, the trees and the mountains in the background. I wouldn't change a thing on this shot. It will not win a beauty award but this is the typical scenery there, so for me it is perfect. Regards, Uwe

Hi Lou Ann,

 

Thank you for your kind comments about my photos from South Georgia Island. You have a wonderful portfolio of photos from all your travels. Alaska is a special place for me as well. You might be interested in the photo tour I'm leading in Alaska (and B.C.) this summer. Check out my website: www.donpaulson.com...

 

Best Regards,

 

Don
