Stanley is a beautiful area. I think I have more shots that turned out well, but these two were the first to immediately grab my attention after I dumped my memory card. Thank goodness for polarizers... now I just need a wide-angle lens that has better optics than my kit. Which would be virtually any other wide-angle lens. Wide angle lenses are expensive though. So for now, I'll settle for the kit.

I'm a little disappointed in the depth-of-field on the second one. Should have gone narrower than f/10; the mountains are not crisply in focus. Guess I won't be printing that one as a 30x40.
More to come as I find more time to dig through the photos in the last card dump. And I'll try to remember to get that calendar up tomorrow as well.
Love the long exposure in the first shot - nicely exposed, and the foreground rocks are sharp as a tack. The moving water looks very cool! I wasn't able to bring my tripod with me, and I am kicking myself. The second scene is amazing - with the gorgeous reflection. (I feel your pain with the kit lens :)
ReplyDeleteOn the second photo, I do like the log in the clear water, with the water becoming more reflective in the distance.
