Hi Bill, Sorry to misuse this photo to ask you a question; I'll be in Hong Kong and have one free day for shopping; would like to pick up some Nikon stuff. Do you know of a reliable place for a one stop shop?
Hope to hear from you soon...
Thanks,
Hugo

Larry, it's easier than PS. It's called a warming polarizer.

Hey Bill, I'd accuse you of pumping up the sky in PS if it weren't for the fact that I know that you're... well... 'digitally challenged.'

Thanks for the directions and restaurant recommendations!!
Also, thanks for the recommendation to shoot early in the morning. That is my one beef with photography: getting up early often provides advantageous shooting conditions. I'll give it a try this trip, at least when I shoot the barn!
Can't wait to see something from the wedding.
:)

Hey Mary Sue, it's right off the main road going north of town....about 5 miles north of the airport and a bit north of that turnoff where you always see the moose below the bridge. I think they have chained up in there for the tourists. In the mountains during summertime you always want to shoot early in the morning to avoid the haze like Jim Christensen got in his photo. I like mine more than his. My only regret is that I didn't have a view camera with me but I had to shoot Z's wedding in Livingston MT the day before. Have a nice trip out there and don't miss the Snake River Grill for dinner. Also, the Rusty Parrot serves dinner now. Stay there if they have room...Bill

Cool, Bill! Glad to see your camera is still getting some use.
The huge mountains looming over the dilapidated barn really puts things into perspective. I get a feeling of awe about the eternal presence of the mountains (eternal in the sense of a person's life, not in the sense of geology!). The barn, which probably had a good life, seems nearly ephemeral in contrast to the enduring mountains.
From the technical standpoint, I like how you got detail in the mountains without overdoing it. I also love how you got good light on both the mountain and barn.
Do you recall what time of day you shot this? Also...is this on the main highway that goes through Jackson Hole? I am headed up there shortly, and will try to add my version of the barn. Can you tell me how to get there?
Did you see Jim Christensen's version of it? http://www.usefilm.com/image/529485.html
Looks like Wyoming is enjoying a few tourist dollars!
