Albion Basin
Went up to Albion Basin last night as there was finally a decent evening. I've been getting skunked for light up there recently with the monsoon. The flower report is that it is peaking right now.

C&C welcome and thanks for looking!

looks like a good display there (and hadn't heard of this place before so thanks for that too). I'm with the others, numero tres...

+1 for #3. Outstanding.
Posted by Doug Koepsel on July 31, 2010 at 12:11 PM
Definitely #3 (there must be an echo).
Maybe warm Marty up a bit.

I like the moose!... ok, I like number 3 too.

Seriously, I do like the moose shot. Could be a tad brighter.

Great light in #3. Really like that moose image as well!

Great light and subjects in all!
#3 wows for sure, but the others are right behind it, IMO.

The moose shot has a fairly heavy blue cast.
Try clicking the grey eyedropper in Levels or Curves on that rock and see the difference. :wink:
That'll also take care of the darkness issue.

All are excellent comps, great color, and very nice light. I also like #3, but 2 is right behind. That is one BIG moose.

Thanks for the comments and the advice. I tried your tip John and it worked marvelously and here's the repost. The heavy blue cast was due to shooting him after the sun went down and pretty dark and his muzzle is just a tiny bit fuzzy. It was pure luck that I ran into him as he was just off the trail, and I didn't even have to max out my 70-300 to get this image. Earlier a momma and baby snuck up to about 30' behind me before I even noticed. I am always amazed how a 1,000 LB animal can be so stealthy!

And yet another WOW for number 3! I also like the first one a lot Jeff. Nice repost on the Moose. That John M sure knows his processing :toast:

Great light and flowers on #3, I especially like the composition.
