Marc Adamus had a shot of this place on his site. But I much prefer your take. Brighter and less depressing.
Ha, thats quite the compliment. I know he has shot this lake before, but I think most of his bubbles shots are from places much harder to reach then Abraham. Very appreciated anyways

Thanks Aaron. If you ever travel over here to shoot them let me know. FYI, its just slightly colder then Hawaii
First of all, great shot man, nice technique, interesting composition, great light!

Beautiful image.
Could you point me to a good tutorial/explanation for focus stacking? I have seen several images with focus stacking and would love to try the technique.
Thank you,
Chris
Would you be able to pm me that info as well? I've yet to use that technique
Website:
I'm going to have to agree with the others, I would change the images of yourself on the about and prints pages asap (I'm 28) and they don't convey a professional image to me of someone that takes pride in the amazing images you are obviously capable of.
As far as the images on the front page go, there are some nice images there but I would refrain from using multiples that are essentially the same image just different light, day etc....there are at least like 4 or so of the ice ones, 3 or so of the one you just posted etc. I know it can be hard to pair down and choose one or two but for portfolio representation, you really need to. This was recently relayed in a portfolio vid I watched from an established pro and I thought it was some really great advice.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks Stan, I appreciate it! Just pick up any of your wide angle lenses and put it 4 inches away from something, then try to focus on it and get a mountain in perfect focus also It is second nature for me to shoot like this now for large quality prints.
I see the value of multiple images stacked for DOF. My thought was 4-5 should be enough. I may have missed this, but what software do you use to stack?

Oh, thats because I chose to shoot this with my lenses sharpest aperture, which doesnt give a very deep dof. I could have shot this at f16 and done it with fewer images, but since I had the time I wanted to maximize what my camera/lens combo is capable of. I bit more risky because it is easy to miss a slice of focus, but worth it for big prints. It only takes an extra 30 seconds to do this anyways. I stack in Helicon.
