Which Cokin filters are were you using for these?
BTW: another stunner IMO!

pcarfan · 07-22-2010, 03:41 PM

Peter,

I use the coking P system for Hitech GND filters and a cokin CPL and for this shot I used the GND filters alone. It was taken at dawn.

I think the previous shot is a bit too yellow, changed it to be a bit more orange. Once I finalyze the look, I will print these in metallic papaer, which I think would be ideal. Thanks for your feedback.

I promise this will be the last one....I am just including this as it shows the obvious need for GND filters. But, I am not 100% satisfied with my technique when the sun is in the frame, need to work on it.

axl · 07-23-2010, 03:00 AM

thanks for the info.
And don't worry, with you can post shots like that everyday, and I don't think people would get bored

oh, yeah, those shots suck so good I think I am put off photography for the remaining days of my life.

You know those are all wonderful shots!! Thanks for sharing...I am not of the mindset to get up early enough to wander out and shoot ducks/geese at o-dark-hundred or even stay out that close to sunset since that seems to be closer to bed time every day anymore...on either end of the scale.

I wonder if my Ltd's think I have forgotten they exist...hmmmm...better get them off the shelf for at least a bit of fondling before too long.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, it's just that I didn't want to hoard the FA limited thread.

@brecklundin, I wouldn't usually get up so early, but at Yellowstone it was hard on that first day, but after that I was looking forward to getting up early just to experience the magic that unfolded every morning.

Here is one taken with the King - The FA 31 limited. (The foreground has gotten slightly darker when uploaded, but close enough for now)

henryjing · 07-26-2010, 02:25 AM

FA 77mm @ F2, i think...

pcarfan · 07-26-2010, 04:21 AM

Henry, that's a lovely image. Was it taken with film?

henryjing · 07-26-2010, 07:37 AM
