wonderful image and colors, im curious if this is two images put together though just because the exposure is so dead on on both the forground and the very highly lit background. also on the right hand side of the canyon cave wall i see a 1 pixal blue halo, just curious if this is in deed two images put together, but all in all a wonderful image and great composition, great tones on both forground and background mountains!!!!!
congrats

taras, yep, used a tripod, used the two x converter and know that it stops it down 2 stops, also it wont auto focus on the cam, i have to manually focus it, so maybe i had the ring a bit off, all in all i feel the focus of the image is ok, i know it could be better, but i could also have a mirrored telescope lens and then i would get the results taht i really was shooting for.... as for this night, i didnt do mirror lock on this image, just took like 5 images and got back in the house due to the cold, and really wanted to see what the 2x converter and 70 to 300mm lens could do, mirror lock was tested a couple days ago on the full moon and works nicely, and will be tested again tomorrow on the full moon setting behind longs peak and the mountains that are known as the flatirons.... during sunrise, thanks for your sugestions, much apriciated.

it was about 30 minutes ago and here in colorado it was taken at about 9:45 PM.. the setting was to spot metering and it would still blow out the moon, but i basically stopped it up till i found a happy medium. 1/60 at F5.6, ISO 100. im very happy with the 20D so far, she doesnt have a name yet though he he he, ill check out your portfolio, thanks for the wonderful comment

Patrick i enjoy your work at white sands New Mexico so much, it reminds me of when i was there on my long cross country trip. such a unrealistic national park it is... but you capture it so beautifuly.. wonderful work and great lighting on this one. i love the different tonal ranges hit dead on in the sand. and great saturation and color on the stark white sand as well.
congrats on another wonderful capture

i love your abstracts gaja, this one especially i would love a huge print of it above my computer work area... symbolizing more than just the stress and need of a drink at times.... it reminds me of a wonderful saturated heavy oil painting as well.. wonderful capture..

i like your recent portrait study's... this however is probably my fav of the series just because of the light quality on your face and knee cap. then i also like how the light gets very contrasty towards your arm and fades into white. well done, great capture and use of light... wondering about the slight movement in camera or digital effect put on the picture???
congrats

great capture, wishing i was there right now, and i do believe it really does remind me of the image from the movie the beach... the two mountains look the same and the water color of the inclosed bay feels like the same... wonderful capture, so peacefull and prestine..

i like this image very much, wonderful tones on the bottome black and white building, your work is very interesting, especially this one, its almost got a wood cut feel on the bottom and a very abstract feel to the top image of the building, i look forward to more of your work in the future..

great portrait of this man, wonderful tones on the black and white and a certain softenss to the skin lighting.. wonderful... my only fix would be a little more smoke off the cig, but he is inhailing from it in this image so not a lot of smoke is to be expected. wonderful capture, great expression

i love the contrast of blues against the bright yellow and oranges of the ground, its a wonderful landscape, i would love to see more of this lonelly tree against this mountain, maybe a low angle with the tree towering to the top of the mountain and reaching for the sky... but wonderful composition and print non the less...
congrats

hey ryan, the shutter speed was at 1/8, and the aperture was 3.5 on this one... thanks for your comment, im interested to see how you like your 20D? and would like to know about how easy it is to white balance the cam... seeing that im used to the A1 where the white balance has a plus and minus 3 stops for each setting? let me know, im hopefully ordering mine within a week or two.
