Sweet Merced

First off, thank you for the responses to my last photo.

Later on the same day, we found ourselves back on the Merced. The sun was setting and rather than trying to chase after that light and deal with the throngs of photographers at the typical places, we went after color under the hopes of getting some color reflecting off the thin clouds that hung over the valley. The hunch paid off and during the 30 minutes or so of the "sunset" we had this incredible sweet warm glow filtering into the canyon and lighting up everything in the most delicious of ways. This was one from that time, taken digitally and cropped to 4x5.

I photographed the same scene on 4x5 and the films went out for processing today. Looking forward to those films. Its quiet a task photographing with both a digital and 4x5. The digital makes it easy to nail the exposure and get a quick visual and great for sharing in the forums while the memory is fresh. The 4x5 is the print maker with all the intricate detail. I'll share the 4x5s when they come back.

Comments and feedback on this one much appreciated.

P.S. if you did not see, I have been posting some abstract reflections from the Merced in the Photo Art Gallery. See here
