Sought out this rock wall with the standard hope of seeing something to snap.
I knew that the late summer grasses would be present and might allow some 
choices.
Began clicking on a likely area when a local ground squirrel decided to put 
itself
in the shot. That diverted me from my grass/rock hunt for this trip.

Re: PESO - Spider Rock in black white

[Rick Womer]

I prefer the color one--the BW version doesn't have enough of a tonal range to 
hold my interest.

Both could use a wider tonal or contrast range--some playing with curves might 
be useful.

Re: PESO - Spider Rock

[kwaller]

The light is no harsher than the landscape.


Aahz,
From the orientation of the shadow, the sun was almost overhead. When 
traveling, sometimes you take what you can get, But with a dawn or dusk lit 
scene, this image would move out of the documentary category and into a fine 
outdoor art category.


Its taken me many years to really appreciate the quality of light in my 
images and there are many times I just won't take a shot knowing the current 
light will degrade what could otherwise be a good/great image.

That rock must be very popular with the climbers.  Looks like a very  
impressive place, the scale seems vast.





As others have mentioned, Canyon de Chelly is on Navajo land and  
access into the canyon itself is restricted.  Navajo people still live  
and farm there.


Spider Rock is just under 300 metres high - it's huge.  Although you  
can't really see them in the web version, the small dots left of the  
rock and between the watercourse and the track are a couple of horses  
grazing.


Many thanks to all for the comments.

I doubt very much that any climbing of Spider rock is allowed. It is an 
important part of Navajo folklore and history and though a National 
Monument, it is on Navajo Nation land.


Despite your battle with the light , Brian, I really like this shot..
I've photographed it from about the same spot (like, yeah, that's where 
the overlook is :-) ) and we hiked down to the White House.


Dave - Spider rock is about 800 feet - The canyon at this point really 
isn't all that vast by high country standards and gets pretty narrow -

flash flooding there is always a hazard.

Now lets see if -this- mail gets to you all

It's illegal to climb. The Navajo own the canyon  the spire is one of
their sacred places.

The National Park goes around the rim. There are only a couple of places
where you are permitted to go into the canyon without being accompanied
by a Navajo guide. They run packaged jeep tours that are kind of
expensive for what you get.

Individual tours - the kind where you can stop  get out long enough to
set up a tripod - are even more so.

Moot point when I was there, because it had rained recently and all of
the tours were canceled due to flash floods inside the canyon.

Nice atmospheric shot. A wild part of the country; haven't been there since
about 1966.

PESO: Squaw Rock Park

[David Parsons]

Where I live, there is a peninsula that has a park at the point.  This
point connects to a nearby island via a sandbar.  When the tide is
low, the bar is exposed and you can walk across it to the other
island.

This was from my first day out with my K-5, so I was playing with the
camera as much as taking pictures.

  As these photos could be considered as trying to be fine art then I may 
 have to adjust my outlook to tidying them up.



I agree with you regarding photojournalism images but I have a more
liberal approach to subjects where the content of the image might have
been different if I'd pressed the shutter a bit earlier or later.  The
bird might have flown away; the shell might have been washed out by a
wave. Removing them doesn't, in my view, distort reality.

 It is possibly not as sharp as it should be. This is  one of the reasons I 
 subsequently bought a 21mm Limited lens for these type of shots.

That should help. Not as much as a 55mm f/2.8 would, if it were mounted on a 
645D.

Even so, it's a very pretty photograph, and the only people that would comment 
on it's lack of sharpness are persnickety pixel peeping photographers. Make a 
print and place it someplace where it reminds you of all the happy memories.  
Or go ahead and use it as an excuse to take the 21 there and get an even 
sharper shot.

Brian

I missed changing the title when I used a existing page as a template for 
the new one.

Thanks for spotting my mistake.


The small blob is a scallop shell and the bird is a shadow in the waves.

As primarily a jouirnalist my first thoughts are to never materially change 
a photo by removing anything as it destroys credibility.


As these photos could be considered as trying to be fine art then I may 
have to adjust my outlook to tidying them up.


Thanks
Phil

Pentax K10D and an old Vivtar 18mm prime in manual mode.  As on old
manual
lens the aperture is not recorded in the EXIF. Not one of their Series 1
lenses.




As Jack says, very well composed. Sometimes the 'rules' of composition
just work!

If it were mine, I'd get rid of the bird? in the foreground - it's too
small in the frame to add interest - and also the small black blob near
the centre.

What's with the title 'Atilla the Racing Yacht'?



Cheers

Re: PESO: Elephant Rock

[eckinator]

I like it with the foreground as it is. Beautiful image both ground and sky
To me, reading your introductory lines was like a flashback into my
own childhood... to a tee. There is an elephant rock in my childhood,
too and I went there many, many happy summers, in fact every year from
age 5 to 11 and again 13. You can see it here:

Nice capture, but it could do without the blackline on the RH horizon.

Looks like a scene that would benefit from a split neutral density filter.

the

rock shadows are a little too dark. I don't know if you PS, but using the
Shadow/Highlight, you could lighten the shadows a tad and I think that 
would help

a lot -- just a little more detail.

Hi Morten,

nice to see another Norwegian on the List.

You have captured the rock in a very nice light, but it looks like the 
contrast was a bit rough.


Like others, I too think it's a bit too dark in the shadows. The 
upside is that the clouds and highlights are rendered nicely. I 
suspect you have a great deal more shadow detail in the original file, 
which you can bring out by using the Curves tool in Photoshop.


Btw, Do you shoot raw or jpeg?

Cheers,
Jostein
