Kodak Ektar 25, 50mm Zeiss lens, f/11 and 60 seconds. Nikon 8008 used
to meter due to the darkness of the canyon.
This was taken at the bottom of a "slot" canyon on the Arizona/Utah
border. The canyon is 40 meters deep but only 1-3 meters wide so that
the sunlight must bounce off the walls multiple times before striking
the bottom. As the walls are reddish sandstone, this accounts for the
rather rich red color of the picture.
This was taken in a botanical garden near Hilo on the Big Island of
Hawaii. Orchids are not native to Hawaii. See
my "Flowers in Hawaii"
exhibit for another 50 images.
below the town of Bomarzo, Italy (1.5 hours north of Rome). This was
the park of the 16th century Villa Orsini and is filled with grotesque
sculptures. Fuji Velvia, Zeiss 50mm lens.
Fuji Velvia, Zeiss 50mm lens, f/11 and 1/4 second.
These unusual spherical boulders are off the coast of the South Island
of New Zealand, between Christchurch and Dunedin. I stood in water
about 1/2 meter deep with the camera on a tripod and periodically
lifted the camera up out of the way of larger waves.
This stream, in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, was in deep shade. I
corrected some of the colors with PhotoShop, brightened parts of the
water, and burned in some highlights.
Yosemite Falls (lower)
Kodak Ektar 25, Schneider 80mm lens, f/16 and 4 seconds.
This photograph was taken about half an hour after sunset. The falls
are almost 200 meters high and are the lower cascade of a waterfall
that is about 1200 meters high.
