JB -
I see you've been around here - I think I'll post the same shot that you took to prove the lake is really that blue.

This IS one of those images that is best seen in full size. Very nice work. You 'could' lighten the face of Sorrow if you wanted to. I think it might look better.

Thanks Jan.
Usually posting other web sites other than usefilm triggers a review. Maybe that is what happened.

Michael -- I tried leaving a complimentary comment and a rating and the OOPS flashed that it would have to be reviewed by a human to make sure it was appropriate. I have no idea what I said that triggered the rejection but I tried giving you a "seven" as well as comment. You might see it, you might not. At least the rating took.
--Best to you, Jan

What can I say about this except it is most excellent. Again, you inspire me to even try something like this. I'm going to have to hunt down your tutorials on the process. One of these days, I'll get brave.
Congratulations on the dual awards, well deserved for this piece.
Best to you,
Dave

Hey, thanks for looking. Sometimes these get passed over because the previews are tiny and can't be made out. I'm glad you enjoyed the image once you spent the time clicking it.

Wow, I like this wide angle stitching too! Great shot, Michael. The clouds really do add some "drama" or mood to the shot. Cheers, Gary

Ah, now I read the comments. And see this was daylight. I have a tendency not to read the comments until after I comment so as to not influence what I want to say. Unless I am at a loss and looking for some type of explanation from the photographer.

One of the best IR images I've seen here. A 3 minute exposure?? This must have been a total night shot. Excellent stuff. So when these parks run these contests, do they publish the award winning photos? Hard to believe there's one better than this to portray the park.

Micheal:
Excellent work . . . The blow out area lower right central is slightly distracting from what IMHO would be otherwise a world-class shot. I'm not sure why you wouldn't apply a slight burn there. Can't find anthing else to critique. Excellent material. Excellent image. Having seen the color version I FAR prefer it but understand why you posted this. Exquisite scene. The PANO version absolutely ROCKS! Love the scene color and B&W . . . first class on clarity and composition. Congrats on the award. I've been here before . . . having lived in South Dakota . . . what an amazing place, eh?
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

No problem. I only posted B+W because I can get a larger image against the filesize limits set for posting. I wanted to show all the little flakes of dirt and textures.

Michael - Once again, nice shot. I would have to agree with Mr. Adams, I like the color version a better. The colors seem to help the photo "pop" more. Also, thank you for always putting in a little description on how you processed your photographs. I know that it makes me think on how I can improve my work.

Wow.
This is great.
Personally I prefer the color just because of the range of colors.
Wonderfully presented and great about!

A little bit about this shot:
This is a stitch of three or four separate shots. I was trying to get the details and textures of the landscape and noticed that I had rotated around an axis after the fact. Stitching them resulted in a rather nice view of everything I was trying to capture.
Taken in the north unit of the park - less visited and much better.
The color version is nice too - I just converted to grayscale because I could post a larger image. That's the only reason.
I use masking in Photoshop to set the "levels" - brightness and contrast - of parts of my shots independently. That is why the dark cliffs, foreground in shadow, foreground in highlight, and sky all seem to have a lot of definition. Normally this would be balanced across and somewhat more muted. I try to bring out the details of the human eye - which compensates for a lot of range without us knowing it.
FYI for non-donors: This is viewable in a much larger scale and detail with the panoramic view.
Because you were kind enough to click on this photo and read this far I'm attaching the color version.

Hey there Gary -
This was bright sunlight - but due to the nature of IR on a digital SLR this exposure was three minutes. The dark sky comes from the IR filter.

Very nice....great!! love the long exposure.....
I have recently printed some night shots in contact in photopolymer gravure and they look infared! I have one or two posted on my page here at usefilm.
Definately like the long exposure....nighttime, or late dusk? Need dark for one minute exposure. (sky)
