Re: PESO - Herb On the Ledge

Hi! in what way? we were there at the same time. both pictures were taken about 15 seconds apart. The shot you've taken seems to have much more interesting lighting on the leaves beneath the cliff... Well, at least to me... Boris

Hi! my version of Saturday's and Sunday's Mini PDML. http://users.bestweb.net/~hchong/Temp/ check out number 4 where my friend Loren is standing on the same ledge. we know it is well over 100ft straight down before landing on something solid. that place is Newman's Ledge and has been frequented by painters for probably close to 200 years, and photographers for probably over 100 years. the area where Mat, Loren, and i hiked was part of the Catskill Mountain House, a world famous resort from about 1840 to about 1910.

Re: PESO - Herb On the Ledge
Before someone says something... While we were out hiking/shooting, Herb did not look at any of my shots, and I did not look at any of his. I was rather surprised when we reviewed shots later, that he had chosen similar framings/compositions as I had for a bunch of shots. Herb did point me towards a couple of good spots to park the camera, but left the rest to me. That being said, I bow to the master, as a lowly apprentice, who wishes he brought a slightly lower contrast film with him. :-) -Mat On 11/3/05, Mat Maessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Full gallery is up at http://www.matoe.org/gallery2/v/tomatoe/catskills/ > On 11/3/05, Herb Chong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > my version of Saturday's and Sunday's Mini PDML. > > http://users.bestweb.net/~hchong/Temp/ check out number 4 where my friend

Full gallery is up at http://www.matoe.org/gallery2/v/tomatoe/catskills/ There are a couple of pictures at the end of the gallery of the view outside my bedroom window, along with my version of Herb's #11 shot, over Kaaterskill Falls. Herb was calmly standing at the edge of a 150-foot dropoff shooting away on the tripod, while I was clinging for dear life to a tree not far away... -Mat On 11/3/05, Herb Chong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > my version of Saturday's and Sunday's Mini PDML. > http://users.bestweb.net/~hchong/Temp/ check out number 4 where my friend > Loren is standing on the same ledge. we know it is well over 100ft straight > down before landing on something solid. that place is Newman's Ledge and has > been frequented by painters for probably close to 200 years, and > photographers for probably over 100 years. the area where Mat, Loren, and i > hiked was part of the Catskill Mountain House, a world famous resort from > about 1840 to about 1910. > >

And let's us know where Herb gets those great colors. We don't have fall color like that in CA. But I am with frank on this one, the one thing bugging me about the shot is the horizon line is in the middle. So there is an equal amount of sky and equal amount of trees, etc. Usually more impact is gained by having either more sky or more ground. Too static otherwise. So I am with frank on how to crop. Show more please. Never get me up that high. Or at least that close to the edge. No way, Jose. Marnie aka Doe ;-)
Re: PESO - Herb On the Ledge
Thanks Frank! I was thinking that cropping some of the sky might improve it. I'll have to play around a bit tonight, and see how that looks. -Mat On 11/3/05, frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > wonderful shot! seems to be a lot of sky on the shot. maybe taking a > bit of it out would put the emphasis a bit more on herb and the > gorgeous mountains below him. cropping it square looks even better to > my eye than it does now - and it looks great as is.

Re: PESO - Herb On the Ledge
a camera and a hiking backpack. we went about 5 miles, including some steep stuff and at least one place where rock climbing experience was useful, and there was both snow and a lot of wet trail from the rains. all of the waterfalls were running much higher than normal for this time of year.
