The two I liked are here: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/Yosemite_Falls_FP4_01_adj1_large.html or http://tinyurl.com/4mu97w and http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/Yosemite_Falls_FP4_02_adj1_large.html or http://tinyurl.com/3ohfxd Tech stuff: HV & Ilford FP4. The last image was taken with the 350/5.6 and 2Xe: the trees to the right are probably 30 feet high to give you some idea of the magnitude of these falls. Really amazing. Went back this past Friday. another exhausting day: 18 hours and 463 miles (took a couple of wrong turns). These are all from the M8: View from Glacier Pt.: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/GlacierPt_large.html or http://tinyurl.com/4xm8qc And we found this barn at the end of the day down an old dirt road on the way out of the north gate: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/2L1001250_45_46_47_48_49_adj_large.html or http://tinyurl.com/4psrso Both the last 2 images are blends of 3 and 5 images processed using HDRI. I use Photomatix rather than CS3 as it seems to result in a bit more realistic image. I decided to use this technique because the light, especially at Glacier Pt. was really harsh. Using it for the barn also worked well as the sky was quite bright even at the end of the day... Finally, Sam: http://raflexions.com/Leica/content/L1001424_large.html or http://tinyurl.com/4a29d2 C&C are always really appreciated, Bob Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
