Hasn't voted | Thanks. Light was very beautiful that evening. I took this photo right after a major storm cleared. | | Posted Jul 24, 2007 3:44 pm |

Voted 10/10 | 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. | | Posted Jul 25, 2007 8:31 am |
| | Misha | Re: Range of Light | |
Hasn't voted | 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! | | Posted Jul 25, 2007 12:07 pm |
| | peninsula | Re: Range of Light | |
Voted 10/10 | 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. | | Posted Jul 25, 2007 12:27 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Was this film (type?) or digital with enhancement filter? Simply wonderful however it was done. Thank you. | | Posted Jul 24, 2007 4:46 pm |
| | Misha | Re: color enhanced? | |
Hasn't voted | 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. | | Posted Jul 24, 2007 4:55 pm |

Hasn't voted | I love how Winchell looks from this side. Climbed Agassiz last year, great view from the top, and yes, much more snow last year, even in September. | | Posted Jul 24, 2007 11:40 pm |
