Continuation of older scans............Mammoth Hot springs..........if I remember correctly...........I was on the roof of the truck at the side of the road (never buy a rental car........I may have rented it!).....E100VS film is the only spec I can give. Very stormy that late afternoon. Many years earlier I had seen images like this...but never found the location........trees had "grown up".........hence the roof of the truck.
Comments always welcomed and appreciated.
Love how the clouds really set this scene to life. I always love creative ways to get a new vantage point too..nice work at the expense of the rental. ;) I only wonder about the balance of terraces and sky...the roughly 50/50 split may not be ideal IMO. I find my eye drawn to the lower-right where we have terraces, the sillouted mountain peaks, and still a lot of drama in the dark sky...maybe a tighter image there would have been nice too! I find Mammoth Hot Springs to be very difficult to photograph at the present...many of the most spectacular fomrations are currently dormant and so many people.
So much detail, colors and shapes. The light is great. The scan same out great. I think Judd is onto something with a tighter crop. I tired one using the RoT cropping guide and started from the lower left and cropped right so that the slope exited frame in the lower third. Vertically, I made the top third the sky.
That's really incredible roman. I can't pick any one thing I love more than another - the clouds, the colors, the whole comp - it all is fabulous. You're really making me want to get in my car and hit the road.
You captured wonderful lighting in this one. I love the bright white of the flow and the almost-navy skies. You might crop a bit of the sky so that it is only one third of the photo.
