Too many photographers put the rocks right in front of the lens for that “in your face” shot.

Your photo proves that the beauty of this spot lies in the entire scene, not just on a single rock.

I really like your 6×17 maple shots too. I just picked up a G617 and am having a custom ground glass made. I had intended to get a GX617 but the deal I found on the G617 was too good to pass up.

I’d mention that to investigate reprocity failures and to “learn a film” there is a cheap way, just experiment with 135mm SLR with spot metering and that film, later it’s necessary to correlate a bit the little metering shift between the SLR and the wooden artifact, this can be done by using a grey card.

Exactly what I was looking for– a very specific exposure guide for nailing better slide shots. THANKS!

It is my favorite spot in the narrows. Even though I got an ok shot the year I ran into you there I’ve wanted better. Each year since I have been skunked. The spot has so much potential and can see it in my mind. I do like how yours turned out.

I brought my large format camera but never took it out. I snapped a few pics of the blooms with my medium format camera, but they were “fun” pictures more than anything else.

It was nice to just be a tourist, and observe the other photographers doing their thing.

Hope you sell enough over there to at least recoup your gas cost and buy another box of film :) Still sitting on two boxes of Fuji 8×10 chrome myself (Velvia and Provia) it’s hard to get motivated to shoot these days, and getting older doesn’t help when it comes to lugging the 8×10 kit around, but it’s always an inspiration watching your vids and seeing the results.

It’s been quite inspiring viewing when I’ve not been out with my camera for a while for me to get out and get shooting again!

Cheers and am looking forward to your next adventure.

You’re such an inspiration! I recently attended a workshop with Ian and Joe in Chincoteague, great guys. I’m heading to Namibia in July/August for 18 days and I hope to come back with some great shots by taking your advice…well thought out shots, patience, perseverance, and simplicity.

I see a lot of informal invitations for “workshops” that are probably the predatory types like you describe. I guess it’s like any trip-you should only sign up through the reputable places. I signed up for both workshops through a well-known gallery.
