Hasn't voted | Thanks very much for your comments. This was one of the most amazing mountain vistas I have ever seen.
The camera was just an old Canon Rebel XS, and I think at that time I was using their basic consumer 28-80 mm zoom lens. It was set at 28mm wide angle. The film was probably Fuji Provia 100, and I scanned it with a cheap HP Photosmart film scanner, then did a little post processing in Paint Shop Pro to get rid of the scanner's blue colorcast and to increase the contrast a bit.
I didn't carry my tripod up to this camp, so I found a good flat rock to set the camera on, and used some small rocks to balance it and aim it at the exact right direction and angle. I had a shutter release so the camera wouldn't move, then I just bundled up in my down parka and sat there as the sun set. | | Posted Jan 17, 2006 8:48 am |
