This was taken at Fort Niagara, on the shore of Lake Ontario. People

have told me I need to burn down the light on the right wheel, but I

like it as is. Any comments appreciated! Thanks, Mark

The Allman Brothers Band used to hang out in this cemetery (Rose Hill

in Macon, GA.), and they named a song after this statue. Being in

Atlanta on a business trip, I decided to drive down to Macon and

visit.

This is nice - I'm always looking for "pictures within pictures" if you know what I mean. I'm not really sure you could've captured it much better, considering the light - but it might be interesting to see it at another time of day. I would've spent all day at this location!

This was taken in Angel Canyon, just outside of Kanab, Utah. This

image covers an area about 3 feet square - but looking at the print

there's no scale at all. It almost looks as if it could be a cliff

wall hundreds of feet high. Thanks for looking, Mark

This was taken in Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, N.Y. I used a red

#25 B&W filter to bring out the clouds as much as possible. Perhaps

they're too dramatic? I like this spot and return at least once a

year. Ansel Adams spent alot of time in Rochester back in the 1950's

and 60's, and made some pictures of this statue. Thanks for looking,

Mark

I know, not much detail in the foreground... Printing this one is tough - 3 or 4 seconds for the grass, and then burn the sky for about 2 minutes. All I had on me was my red #25 - a polarizer might have given the same effect without such a loss in speed. Thanks for the comments, Mark

This was taken last summer up in Button Bay State Park in Vermont,

which is on the NE shore of Lake Champlain. The clouds this night

were so amazing, but I didn't just want to point the camera up and

take another cloud picture - so I spent about 30 minutes frantically

driving around, trying to find something I could put in the

foreground - at least to give the picture some scale. I was losing

the light and had to settle for the tall grass/weeds seen here. The

mountains in the background worked pretty well, I think. This one is

REALLY hard to print! Thanks for looking, Mark
