Redwoods In Fog

Yes, you do! The darkness and the fog, the verticle lines all work well here.

Dan,

I think you did a good job of capturing the feel of the redwoods in fog. It does have anice mood to it. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Dan, I like it! I think this web presentation of the image works well - I can feel myself there!

BTW, what is the equivalent focal length in 35mm?

Very well captured. The mood is great and I like your composition a lot. My only small nit is the light URC. Cropping right a little bit would help.

Hi Dan.
This one certainly transport me right there in the woods.
I'm sure it would be stronger with a big print.
Very nice to see your work.

Salut

Dan,

Very nice image and a moody one too. I like it a lot. I would lose the sliver of light in the upper right.

Jim, to get the equivalent focal lengths for bigger formats, divide by these factors:

6x7/2
4x5/3
5x7/4
8x10/6

In Dan's case it would be 50mm.

Hi Dan, this photo really shines. The understory vegetation has a glowing look to it under the darker redwoods. I also like how the larger trees frame the younger forest, a nice contrast that adds great depth. I'm curious about Ektachrome G too, what its color tendencies and contrast is like. Randy

Wow, Dan. This is moody and beautiful. It's my favorite kind of coastal woods scene and is perfectly captured here. Bravo!

Jim,

I'd say that the 150mm lens is closer to 45mm on a 35mm. Still in the normal lens range. I multiply by 10 and divide by three.

Randy,

I really like Ektachrome G. It's less contrasty and saturated than Velvia 50 which is what I've been shooting when it's low ISO is not a problem. I've also been shooting Astia 100F and I've found its color a little dull at ISO 100 but nice when pushed 1 stop. Ektachrome G processed normal is less contrasty than Astia pushed 1 stop and just a teeny bit cooler. I like it color palette. The Kodak Readyloads don't work in a Fuji Quickload holder so I need a separate holder and the Kodak one is much more finiky. I also like being able to support an American company.

I'm glad that you see in this photo what I see.

Thank you to all.

- Dan.

I'm aware of the URC and was going to write something about it in my initial presentation. Since I do most of my work for sale of framed prints, I knew that that small piece would be covered by the matt so I didn't crop it out.

- Dan.

Dan, very, very nice.

Just beautiful Dan

I find the picture really does draw me in - it's very inviting in it's attraction.

Thanks for sharing.

Dan, this is simply excellent.

My trips to the redwoods have been mostly unproductive. This helps provide some goals for my next trip.

Great image, Dan. I love the soft light of fog. I think a slight crop off of the right hand side to eliminate the light the attracts my eyes in that direction. Very cool shot!

This absolutely works Dan. I'm especially enjoying the foggy depth created by the three larger trunks in the foregound and the smaller trunks in the background. A classic redwoods scene.

I like it! I spent a week in May '04 in the Redwoods. Everyone told me how foggy it is there and that I will no doubt get some nice fog pictures. There was no fog. None! No rhodadendron flowers either! Just have to go back, I guess. I fell in love with the Redwoods and can't wait to go back. A very comforting place.

I would crop the right side a tiny bit as the URC is bothersome. I would use the tree on the right side as a visual boundary to prevent a viewer's wandering eye from leaving the photo.

I would love to see a large print of this.
