Would have been a killer if you could bring out the shadow detail at the bottom of the mountain. Great even without that. Did you use any filter?

The filtering out of red happened with me also at nearly the same spot. I also used velvia. However, look at this picture to see another extreme. I wonder if this is indeed a film issue.

 

Good picture anyway, though I wish there were bit more shadow detail in the distant hills and some point of interest in the foreground.

One of the best shots of Salt Lake I have ever seen. If only you could put some point of interest on the left side...

How did you make the leaves blue? Phtoshopped? Filtered? If filtered, then which filter did you use to keep the roses yellow?

No Clue. I think gold-n-blue polarizer + lighting did some trick. It is difficult to get same condition (snow + that lighting) again. I shall definitely try to resolve this once I get a similar condition. Or is this color shift a 'feature' of Elitechrome 100?

I agree, Sigma 28-300 may be a strange choice for someone who owns so many expensive filters. But I have seen, over my various trips, that it gives you acceptable results without burdening you too much and without creating a big hole in your pocket. If I ever start selling my photos, I may think of prime lenses at various steps of 20-500, untill then Sigma 28-300 rules.

This particular photograph really looked stunning. I normally do the following to the scanned photograph:

1. Resize

3. Crop

2. Sharpen to compensate the sharpness loss while resizing

3. adjust the saturation level if necessary

4. adjust color balance if necesary.

 

Most of the time, I try to follow the actual slide, however, for some pictures, to create a particular mood I have balanced color difrerently or given a more/less saturation. This is the original scan without any crop, color balance/saturation adjustment(just resized and sharpened).

Nice shot. However, if you could place the tree on the left, it would have been more balanced. Right side has too much stuff, left is kind of left unattanded.

I did not use photoshop at all. The sky was very blue. Look at this to see how nice the sky was. 3 stop ND grad turned it into a deep blue sky.

It is not a composite. The sunset was as such magnificent. The 3 stop hard ND grad did the rest. Metered with ND grad on.

Great shot, would have been better if legs of the horse were not trimmed. Also I prefer the hand of the person not touching the edge of the photo.

I thought of cropping, but did not want to leave out the swirl of leaves in the background. By the way, it was shot through glass at 1/10 sec in a cloudy day.

You could have moved right, that way, the boat would be against the reflection of the sun. You could have used ND grad filter (3 stop), as that would have hold off the bright sky.
