Colorado Quiet

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Mike

Only the occasional bird, distant rumble of thunder, or grasses moving in the wind.

  Ansel is a hero of mine, but I’m afraid I couldn’t carry his equipment. Still, your comment is very much appreciated. The Grand Canyon is something to behold. Thanks, Jade.

    I was in London visiting a friend and we decided to tour the Maritime Museum. Imagine my surprise when we arrived at the museum there was an Ansel Adams exhibit! I was in heaven!

    What a treat for you. His work is amazing and his zone system has always been instrumental in my processing decisions, both in my prior life as a film shooter and owner of a custom black white lab, and now as a lazy digital guy. That was a very long sentence.
    Nice name, Jade.

That’s so good Mike. I can half imagine myself sat on a horse and just wandering towards those mountains in the background…

  And I can imagine Native Americans on horseback returning from a hunt as they make their way back to their village, eager for the touch of their children and feel of their wives. It wasn’t that long ago the buffalo roamed.

    The effect strikes me as polarizing filter combined with 25a red giving nearly infrared feel.
    The internet is packed full of photography sites but I think I am really going to enjoy perusing your blog – appears to have great depth.

    Thanks No polo used and indeed the red filter is added in PP, as you might have guessed.
