    El Capitan

          6

    Took this one a few days ago after a storm hit Yosemite. I live in WI,

    and had this trip planned 2 months ago. Turns out I was very lucky to

    have arrived after such a significant snowfall... I tokk alot of very fine

    images with the 5D II and will post more as time permits. This was a

    quick field edit on my (uncalibrated) laptop...

  1. Took this one last Friday in Death Valley. I was deep into the dunes when

    the wind started to pick up, and was able to snap-off a couple shots at this

    location before a full-blown sandstorm hit. It was really bad,and luckily I had

    a GPS with me, since visibility was only about 30 yards. I was pleased to

    come away with this image, and will always be reminded of this scary

    experience...

    Impact

          5

    Took this one a couple weeks ago in WA. I think the lone cloud

    interplay witht he rock is what makes this shot one of my faves from

    this trip. Your thoughts?

    Pilings at Dusk

          2

    Took this one last week in Washington. The sunset was a bust, but

    the soft light on these pilings accentuated the green growth. The

    proginal shot also has sky in it, which I cropped out.

    El Capitan 2

    This is a very quick processing on my (uncalibrated) laptop of an image I

    took a few days ago. Will redo on my properly calibrated screen when I get

    back. Just looking for general impressions...

    Fall Aspens

    Looking for comments on this composition. A monochrome treatment

    also looks very nice, but the detail that is important to add impact

    doesn't come through in a small jpg.

    11-07-04 Aurora III

          21

    Took this one on 11-07. I just upgraded my Capture One software and

    was surprised at the better color balance on the images I took. I

    like this image because of the clouds adding a bit of depth to the

    image...

    Autumn Waterfall

          48

    Taken with my 10D yesterday morning. I think it holds up well with

    the film-based image I took years ago... I don't think I'll be going

    back to film any time soon...

  2. Most lightning photos use long shutter speeds to record multiple

    strokes, at the expense of cloud detail. I prefer lightning images

    with cloud detail, and feel the lightning stroke itself should be

    the "icing on the cake" of a good lightning image. Would do you

    think? I like this shot, but haven't taken the time to dodge/burn

    and extract the detail in the blown out portions of the clouds in

    the right/center. This will be able to be extracted from the RAW

    file when I take the time...
