Gentlemen, many thanks for your kind comments. Sequoia NP is a special place. I think I may have a few more to post in the future.

Jeff - it doesn't get any better than this ... great work.

[digger1914]

Now that is a great shot. What atmosphere!

beautiful & stunning. one of the best landscape shots i've seen in a long time. i especially like the contrast between the black and solid trees in the front and the lighter and very fine structures in the back. intuitively i would have expeced the inverse geometric order - fine details in the front, the solid stuff in the back. inverting this make this image so interesting to me.

post processing is very well done, too. normally, i am not a big fan of sepia stuff, but here it works marvelously.

this picture reminds me of ancient japanese ink drawings - great ...

Slept in the car in order to be at this destination for the right light. It had been foggy for five days straight while I was in Sequoia and I had pre-scouted this location for a "foggy sunrise". When I awoke and hiked into the meadow there was a family of black bears digging for roots. Fortunately, they moved on after a brief period, but it was enjoyable to observe them nonetheless. I used RVP-50, spot metered the fog, and opened up +1.0 - +1.5 stops. IIRC, this was taken with a 35mm or 50mm lens on my M7. I then pulled out my 4x5 and recorded it on that as well (I use the 35mm for projection purposes on a Pradovit RTm with 90 Super ColorPlan Pro lens and the 4x5 for drum scanning/printing).

Wow, that's the best Sequoia photo I've seen yet. Very moody and atmospheric.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[roguewave]

Jeff, that honey toning is sweet. Great light & interesting to hear your game plan. Here I think I navigate in some dicey terrain, but "a family of bears" is no Family of Man. Much enjoyed & looking forward to seeing more as they emerge from the red lights.
