Went up there this morning with some width, Canon 14mm prime and 17-40mm/polarizer. Wasn't too cold really, only ran into a lot of people coming back down. Some snow, great colors and well the lake as usual is amazing...
Nice set. I really struggled to pick a favorite between the first 3. I think I like the composition of 1, and the exposure of 3. I think if you did a little work on 1 maybe you could open up the dark areas just a touch, then that would really do it for me. But 4 is my favorite of them all. For such a seriously wide shot, it looks very natural, with great exposure, nice framing, and killer DOF of course. Wondering what the aperture was on 4, just out of curiousity?
Excellent, only problem now is if I end up deciding to buy a 5D MkII, now I also have to budget in a 14mm
I dunno - the tweaking you would need to do to lighten is so subtle it might not even be worth it. In truth, I just changed monitors here too, so that might be part of the problem...
true...I still think about the 5D mk2, but ended up finding an unreal bargain on the 14mm mk2 on craigslist across the country and pounced on that instead
Tim yes its an amazing hike...leaves from the Alpental parking lot off I90. Busy trail in the summer but not too bad this time of year. We overdressed a bit, and layers eventually came off. Saw one guy in flip flops though
