Which 8x10? Hope it wasn't one of those old Calumet 18 pound green monsters. : - )

I use a lightweight Ebony RW810 that weighs in at 9 lbs. I can't imagine having to carry anything heavier.

I almost feel like I want the water to be just slightly more blue.

Other than that, I can't nitpick. Nicely done.

Stunning!! Well done.

Nice Capture.
Ansel would be proud and would have had his wife carry gear.

Beautiful shot with great depth and color. I joined this forum just so I could comment on this image. I love the shadows and the composition. My first thought was I am so glad someone didn't mess this up by making an HDR photo. The richness of those shadows just pull me into the photo and give it great depth. When I read it was done with an 8x10 camera I felt the pain of lugging those monsters around (made me laugh at my HDR thought too). I appreciate digital but this takes me back to the images that got me started in photography back in the late 70's. Thanks for posting this fabulous image.

I'm sure that's a great camera, I had two Ebony 4x5s, the Ti and Te. My 8x10s were Deardorfs and Kodak 2D. The Deardorf was manageable on day hikes, I wouldn't have tried it on anything like what you did. 8x10 is such a great format to use, by far my favorite. I'd never go back to 4x5 from digital but 8x10 is a constant temptation.

Thank you

Wow ! well worth the effort

Beautiful shot.

Yes, congrats! Thanks Fred for featuring this so it caught my attention.

This is really a lovely photo, extremely well executed.

I used to shoot with an 8x10 Calumet "Green Monster". It is a treat to shoot 8x10. Seeing the image on the ground glass is a wonderful experience.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks for all the information and video about your adventure! Nice photograph!
After hiking just the short trail to Horse Shoe Bend in that loose sand I can not imagine what hiking with a 90 lb pack would be
Cherubino.

Phenomenal shot. To my eyes the shot was worth it but I didn't have to lug a 90 pound pack to get it. I really enjoyed you videos as well, it added something to the photograph knowing how hard you worked to get the shot.

Thanks for sharing!

Great photo. Love the video too. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Absolutely incredible. ;-)

Oh my!!I wish I was 50 years my junior!

Beautiful image, certainly worth the effort.
