Thanks Alex. We'll see about POW. There are lots of amazing photographers on SP who may challenge it :)

Range of Light

Outstanding photo! Love the color and love that location. Great angle on the light!

Re: Range of Light

Thanks. Light was very beautiful that evening. I took this photo right after a major storm cleared.

Re: Range of Light

Curious about the camera settings. I imagine you must pack a tripod for these long exposures. I'm going up over Taboose this year and plan to pack in a tripod for the first time (a "real" tripod instead of one of those six-inch jobbers). Going to try more of those Polarizer/GND filter combinations.

Re: Range of Light

Sure. I do carry a tripod - it is one of the lightest Gitzo 6x carbon fiber models; it only weights a little bit over 1lb. I also use a Really Right Stuff ballhead. That rig is very sturdy although not very high off the ground. I have to squat to take photos (I am 6' tall) but it is manageable. Besides that, I carry an array of GND filters (polarizer never comes off my lens), remote shutter release, a couple of batteries and a solar panel for recharging them (on longer trips).
As far as camera settings for this particular photo: Canon 5D, Canon EF-S 17-40L, f/13, 26mm, ISO100, 0.8sec

I hope that this helps!

Re: Range of Light

Yes, that does help, Misha. I just bought a Gitzo 6x carbon and a Giotto MH 1302 ballhead. I'm looking forward to packing in with a Nikon 17-35 f/2.8 on a D80.

color enhanced?

Was this film (type?) or digital with enhancement filter? Simply wonderful however it was done. Thank you.

Re: color enhanced?

Thanks. This is digital shot with Canon 5D and two filters (polarizer and graduated neutral density). I already commented about color saturation to a different person - see my note on the previous page.
