Red Rock Rudy
Rudy Ruberti really enjoys this little canyon, well I thought it was a little canyon but after spending some time exploring it with Rudy there is a lot to be seen here. I'll have to try a black and white on this one too!

Looks like a great place to shoot. I think B&W could work really well here... especially if you push the contrast of the photographer and really make him standout. Nice catch!

I love the way the strong vertical lines in the rock give way to more flowing and fluid lines as the rock becomes the ground. Very visually compelling for me. I found myself wanting the lower third to be more contrasty and lighter though....

Looks like a killer location. Love the spire look and all the lines and shadows.

Tony, oh no! More processing I see what you mean, it could use that extra kick.

Fantastic 'action' shot Steve. The colors of the landscape and Rudy work so well together too!

Steve,

Looks like you guys had ton's o' fun exploring a ol' classic location that so often bypassed in the rush to get to the Eastern Sierra's I've enjoyed both your's and Rudy's images from your session there and this one candidly expresses what it was like, Thanks,

Paul
