STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
I
had hiked several miles the previous day, but this scene was
ridiculously close to a paved road in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Sometimes you just take 'em where you find 'em. Here lichen-encrusted
rocks with a slight bluish hue provided a nice color contrast with the
red and yellow aspen leaves. This scene would be much too shadowed under
direct sunlight as soft light from a cloudy day was again necessary to
avoid too much contrast in the image. Over the next 45 minutes I
managed two exposures during intervals with both calm wind and cloud
cover, then the clouds disappeared and my photo op abruptly ended. Interestingly, one of my exposures was on Fuji Velvia and the other on Kodak E100VS. Both were properly exposed. This is one situation where E100 VS outperformed Velvia: a softly lit subject with a predominance of yellow, red and orange color. It also is an ISO 100 film which prevented the need for an even longer exposure time. Location: Near Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Technical: Toyo 45 AII field camera with Schneider APO 210/5.6 and Kodak Ektachrome E100VS film Exposure: 1/2 sec at f/40
