I can’t believe you live near these slums Ron. Hopefully someone will clean up all that graffiti soon.
LOL – Yeah this is a pretty tough neighborhood!
Your photographs certainly cheer me up in my “slums” at night. I work permanent night duty in a prison !!
O wow, that is a tough assignment! Thanks Nina!
Wow, wow, wow. Killing me living where I do. Stop it ;^)
Thanks a lot Dan! You need to visit!
Beautiful shot. Did you use a grad filter on this?
Thanks Scott!
I used a two stop hard edge graduated neutral density filter on they sky.
Ron,
I’m preparing for a trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone next month and had a question about filters. Would you use a soft edge grad filter for photos with mountains, or do you think hard edges are fine? I’m wondering how you would use a hard edge in this Mt. Marathon photo since the mountains aren’t a straight line.
Thanks!
Hi Scott,
Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in September should be a blast!
Here, I angled the filter across the mountains by hand holding the filter. The sun was shinning a bit in the valley, but not at all along the stream where I was standing. In fact, in this photo, I think I moved the filter down a bit to include a good portion of the mountains, you can tell because the green mountain on the left, and the rocks on the right are a bit too dark. I would probably try to lighten them a bit when I actually process the image.
Around mountains, I tend to use the hard edge filters the most. On this trip for example where I was limited by space because I was backpacking I only brought my 2 and 3 stop hard edged. There are times the soft edge works best, but usually I go with the hard edge.
Hey Ron,
ID all the flowers in this image and I’ll let you off the dinner deal you owe me.
Cheers
Carl
Thanks so much for your help, Ron. I really appreciate it!
LOL – I think it would be easier to buy you that dinner that I don’t really owe you.
