The sky over the temple was delicious!

Anasazi ruin at Lake Powell, Utah.

Thanks for viewing. Used Velvia 100, F45, 2 minute exposure.

These days are tough on kids. Back in the good old days, no one would

lock up their kid for not eating a cheeseburger!

I love the colors on the buildings and the boats. It appears that the town is quite happy to be on the edge of the sea.

There was amazing color in the sky that evening. I was lucky to be in

the right place at the right time.

Shannon,

I love the contrast in this shot. The water almost looks inviting enough to dive in :) At first I thought all of your pictures in this "Just Click" section were black & white, but there is some color in this picture, and in the "old oak" posting. I love color pictures that look black and white. Keep having fun with that (those) camera(s)!

Using a polarizer, along with an ND filter, brought out a little more

color in the rocks, compared to just using an ND filter. This is

similar to a previous posting that did not use the polarizer - used

the same fixed focal length lens, picture modified digitally to have a

tighter crop.

This was taken with Velvia 50 transparency film, with no filters. If I would have used an 81 filter, perhap 81A or 81B, it wouldn't have turned out so blue. You should see the blue in the snow when the sky is clear!

First 120mm shot with my new Shen-hao. The sky was more overcast than

I had hoped, but I couldn't wait any longer for the perfect shot.

Kent,

 

I see you have captured a beauty. I use a view camera to straighten out the lines in the architecture, sometimes even with success. Was this an AM or a PM shot?

I've posted a black & white version of the photo. I has gotten a slightly higher rating than this one, and nobody says it's too blue. I've done other snow shots using velvia 50, and they have turned out too blue also. I wonder if that is just a feature of the film.

I snow shoed in 2 miles and 1000 vertical feet for this view. Luckily

I happen to be carrying my horseman field camera so I could capture

it. I believe that is Mt. Millcrest (Brighton Ski Resort) off in the

distance. This is a re-submittal, with color removed, by popular demand.

I almost froze while taking a series of pictures from this spot. It was about 2 degrees fahrenheit, and it took me about 15 minutes to get the view camera setup, take the shots, and then take it all down. I had hiked up to this point, so I was somewhat sweaty. And then not moving for that amount of time took its toll on my toes and hands. My toes didn't get warmed up until I was almost back to the car, and then they tingled sharply. Believe me, it was all worth it, even if none of the shots turned out OK.

 

Thanks for all of your comments!

I saw this shallow beach from the ship, and thought it would be a

great place to take a picture from. Thanks for looking.

Um - can I just say incredible? And I imagine that this spot isn't just off of the road. Taking a picture of this quality, while camping and hiking in the snow, is no easy task. Congratulations.

I'm told that this beautiful glacier (Portage Glacier, Alaska) has

retracted quite a ways, creating the lake the ice now breaks off and

falls into.

I like the contrast. I agree that a different angle would be better. I think I would flip the camera from landscape to portrait, and then get down lower to the ground.

Deep in the woods of the High Uintah Wilderness, Utah, elevation about

10,500 feet.

I really like the subject, colors and contrasts. But I think the picture is a little busy. You could probably divide up the picture and make 2 good pictures out of it - lower right quarter and upper left quarter.

Evening near the Uinta mountains, Utah. Thanks for looking.

Calm mountain lake - thanks for looking.

Very little light on the Kenia River, used .9 ND grad to help bring

light to the water.

Thanks for viewing!
