How about more and more fun with Canon...

Bird Point, Turnagain Arm, Alaska, yesterday, 5D and 24-105 f4 L lens. This was taken on the first day of a scheduled two day photo workshop (Hal Gage, local fine art landscape photographer). The workshop was cut short by ash fall from the Mt. Redoubt volcano at 3:30pm. Within 30 minutes the sky went from mostly sunny to grey-brown as the massive ash cloud moved in.

We made our way back to the trailhead parking lot just as the ash started falling from the sky and drove the 30 miles back to Anchorage in a ash dust storm...not good. One of the hazards of living in southcentral Alaska, less than 100 miles from a now active volcano.

A quick and dirty panorama with the 5D and 24-105 f4L from the Bird Point workshop....6 JPGs stitched together in CS3. These images were taken at about 2pm....a couple hours before the Mt Redoubt ash cloud completely filled the sky above. That brilliant white snow would be a dull gray-brown today.

Superb....
Thanks! There are alot of great pano vantage points at this location.

I used my Gitzo Basalt tripod, Acratech leveling base :)thumbs:) and a pan tilt head....the whole setup worked well for capturing pano images.

I had planned to take the Hasselblad 503CWD today or maybe the 'blad with a film back...oh well. Once the volcano settles down, I'll head back there for some more photo outings. It's a very peaceful spot just to get away on your own and listen to the sound of the wind and the water moving in and out with the tide. It had been about 10 years since I was last there.....hasn't changed a bit.

Some nice images here, folks. It's good to see them all, but I'm especially liking the B&Ws today. Probably 'cuz I'm fiddling with one of mine today.

Thanks for posting.

Hi John:

Yes, both Jim and I thought of that image as soon as we stumbled on it. However, Weston's Pelican carcass was "fresher" and in a much better setting and in much better light. This one might have been better 4 days ago in the fog, and certainly would be better with pebbles or sand as a backdrop ;)

Cheers,

I must be having flash backs or something. CANON :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.... :ROTFL:

Seriously though Bud, I actually like working on the files a lot more than I remember liking them in the past. Must be they changed something or maybe it's just C1! :D
