Gets my blood pumping for summer! The composition is excellent and the image looks very sharp, corner to corner. Have you thought about darkening the image just a tad? Looks like you had some killer sun setting light, that at least on my monitor isn't getting the credit it deserves. I will say I haven't calibrated my monitor in a while.
One of the best shots I've seen of the Bridgers! Very nice. Love the mix of colors. I hope to make it up there sometime this summer. I read about your accident in an earlier post. What did you do, try and board down Granite Peak or Grasshopper Glacier or something? I hope you have a speedy recovery and wish you all the best. Good to see some beautiful pics from the local area. It's going to be tough to deal with spring fever but hang in there. Maybe this will give you some time to get your website going. Looking forward to it. Take Care.
Thanks all your for comments I really appreciate them. Hope to be posting more as soon as I can more comfortably sit of for extended periods.
Todd, this is actually from three years back, shows how far behind on things I am....
Kane, I definitely see your point, I actually originally had it processed much darker, but as I've been sitting here in bed I've come to think that a lot of my images have become almost to plastic looking for my own taste, they don't always remind of me of what its like to be outside and really are not that all inviting. I may change my opinion on some of that in the future, but for now I think you may notice a change in my processing and shooting style...hopefully to one that more reminds me of what is actually like to be out there, stuff I'd like to hang on my walls.
Dean, thankfully this happened at Moonlight, I've always been somewhat afraid of huge kickers ever since a pretty bad crash that resulted in a concussion freshman year of high-school. I had the bright idea that I was going to get over that fear and so proceeded to start with some of the bigger jumps, bad idea....I actually was planning on snowboarding that Notch Couloir on Granite this spring, but that doesn't look like its going to happen anytime soon.
Really nice image Jeremy. I do think the image needs to be darkened a bit, but mostly in the sky. If you can leave the foreground alone and just bring back the sky a bit, I think it would be killer.
Thanks Koveh, I'll try tweaking a bit when I can, this monitor isn't calibrated so I'm probably not quite seeing things right either. Thanks again for the input, can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Awesome shot Jeremy! I haven't been in the Bridgers since high school, and I'm not sure I've ever seen this good a shot from the range. The flowers and the clouds are great, but it's the view of the faulted layers that really sing to me. Very sorry to hear about your wreck, but not sorry at all to be seeing more of your images!
