Mayflower Gulch Shot
Got a chance to do some scanning from an afternoon trip I took up to Mayflower a little over a month ago. A little preview for the CNP winter outing! Comments/critiques are welcome!!

Mamiya RZ Pro II (6x7cm)
Fuji Velvia

Love the shot, Michael. It's real clean, and great use of the little swoosh of blue snow in the LRC. I see a little bit of halo around the trees and mountains as they contact the sky, but I seem to be seeing that a lot this evening. In your case it's less noticeable and less distracting than in James' shots.

Todd,

Dumb - Q? I am not seeing what you are pointing out. Maybe I dont know the def of haloing? Help me out??

Thanks

Nice clean shot Michael!

Thanks guys - and for the record I am not seeing any halo on there either? But I thought maybe I was just crazy... :jump:

The scan was a real bear though to get where I wanted it so I thought maybe I created a weird halo through my attempt at color correction. Still need to get a little more proficient on scanning and correction...

Michael,

Maybe you needed me to help you scan it :wink:

Neat shot. Been up there in the summer, but never in the winter yet.

Rich - you may be on to something there. My scanner is a POS, but I have been thinking about one of those new Epson's that hit in May.

Still on the fence tho - so some RichieV scans may be in order!

I dig the shot Michael! A great classic Mayflower image. I like the way the trees mimic the line of the jagged peaks too! Hope you can join us for the upcoming Mayflower gathering!

Thanks Brent! I would like to go back up there and explore some areas higher up that I did not get to on the first trip. First time I did moonset/sunrise on the Hoosier Pass/Breck side and then swung around to the Copper Mountain side to hike into Mayflower for late afternoon and sunset. I'll admit it - I was a bit tired at the end of the day, especially being a snowshoer. :wink:

I hope to be able to join you guys on your trip up there!

Thanks all for the comments!
