Nice set Dan! What camera were you using for these?
JWSinger and guidostow, thanks!
These were done using my old Canon 5DsR. It still works! :-)
I still have 2 and they are my "go to body". I have a MF body that I have yet to master. No rush......I am olde!

Hi Dan,
You did a good job dealing with the smoke. It's been a frustrating year related to smoke. While I like all of your images the 5th stands out to me.

To all of you, thanks!
A few comments and reponses:
Danpbphoto, “beauty” is often what I’m after in my landscape photography. (That’s not always the case in my other work, such as street photography.) And part of it is the search for it in scenes that we might otherwise pass by if we weren’t searching for it.
guidostow, while the 5DsR is dated now in some ways, it is still a really solid camera for landscape photography and some other things. I’m gradually working my way towards whatever will replace it, but it has allowed me to consider that carefully and slowly. (I think that we’ll eventually regard the 5DsR as a classic of this era.)
keepclicking, thanks for that. I’ll bet that people would be surprised at just how much (expected, at the time of exposure) post-processing was necessary to bring these subjects to life.
morris, it took me years to finally come to terms with shooting in smoky conditions. They have always been present in the late summer in the Sierra Nevada, but we had a few extra bad years. I thought about how the smoke is, to some extent, part of the season’s natural scene, and that encouraged me to try to think of it as not just a challenge, but also as an opportunity. But it still is difficult sometimes!
