Congratulations, Rene! Excellent image!

Whoa! I pull up RMNP in my browser and get smacked in the face with one of my own pictures!!!

Thank you very much for choosing my image. (Obviously, the people who picked the image have very a distinguished photographical palate! :biggrin: :wink: )

Also, thank you to everyone for the kind comments.


I shot this image in Canyonlands in early September, just before sunset. Luckily there was a break in the clouds which lasted just long enough for me to make two bracket exposures (BTW - it’s not a double exposure or cut-and-paste job :wink: ). I converted the image to black and white using the Channel Mixer in Photoshop.

Technical: Ebony SV45TE, Nikkor 210 mm f/5.6, Fuji Provia 100F, Timing and a dash of Luck!

Very nice image René... it's got a bit of the feel of a cyanotype or another old, traditional process. Nice composition, too. Well done!!

Looks like right out of Ansel Adams' portfolio. Beautiful light layering across the sky and the rock formations.
