p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Half Dome & Elm Fall Display (4x5)


BFF!
The tree almost "mimicking " Half Dome's shape.
I posted this in B&W earlier while I labored to get the colors right,
Alan Brock was helpful in this effort.

I had also posted just the Elm, that was exposed on Astia
This was exposed on Ektar color neg film, & with 150mm
These two films, Astia transparency & Ektar neg film are different animals to work with
But for this scene, they surprisingly presented the colors similarly

Hey Dan - Of the series you've been working with, I prefer this the most. I like how the tree's autumn color really stands out against the back drop of Half Dome and also the sharp detail in the tree and FG. Often photographers seem to try to make the entire image pop and all the elements share the same level of contrast by the over use of the Clarity Slider, leaving the Dome and sky in it's "natural state" makes the FG come alive.
Well done!

I think I actually like this one best as well. Including more of the gray granite and dreary sky makes the tree stand out even more. Nice job!

I like this image. I like the way you have Half Dome just a little out of focus. I only visit Yosemite in the fall or winter I was pleased to see the Elm is doing better than I expected.

Zeph, glad you like it. I like this kind of overcast day to shoot, grey granite do seem to make the colors show better. BTW, what's the clarity slider

Alan, I like this one best for what you said, but probably because it was more work !

Chuck, funny you mention the focus. When I look at 100%, the detail is all there. I think it's the sort of hazy look that gives it that soft look.

Thanks

Dan

Good eye on this one Dan. I agree with the others that this one is the best so far of your series. It has a lot of depth and layering of colors & textures.

Very nice Dan. I bet the details in the neg are quite spectacular.
