Yes. The heart of the Reservation.Gotta love the place... still in Utah?
Bring it on!! Love the effect here... look like a watercolor.Well, with all the splendid photos recently posted here in the major genres of portraits, street smiles, land and city scapes, wild & exotic life, outporch and outdoor views (i'm now, is it the same? ), life stories, tormented skies & al... guess some'd rather stick to no-risk, lesser categories, such as the "vegetables and other boring plants'".
That's a, er, job... someone has to do it. Have worked on a bunch lately... first, from the ending summer:
Help me out here... not familiar with the reservation layout in this specific area. Is it in the vicinity of Cache NF and Bear Lake?Yes. The heart of the Reservation.
That is a wonderful area, which I'm quite fond of myself, but no, this is the The Uintah and Ouray reservation is located in Northeastern Utah (Fort Duchesne) approximately 150 miles east of Salt Lake City on US Highway 40. The reservation is located within a three-county area known as the "Uintah Basin". It is the second largest Indian Reservation in the United States that covers over 4.5 million acres.Help me out here... not familiar with the reservation layout in this specific area.

It's one of my favorite places in the world, never missed a chance to either stay or drive across the country... i even used to have my fav spot for berry shake... i miss it badly now that i'm pretty much stuck in Europe...
OK got it now. With the peculiar shape of the state, i thought NE as in the NE corner north of SLC... Well if one day i come across again (not any time soon though) maybe you'll honor me with some more Utah insider tips and, who knows, good stories...That is a wonderful area, which I'm quite fond of myself, but no, this is the The Uintah and Ouray reservation is located in Northeastern Utah (Fort Duchesne) approximately 150 miles east of Salt Lake City on US Highway 40.

Thanks Tim. Having been to Maine, I concur that there is a pretty dramatic difference. We do have pine covered mountains in that area as well, but this hunt while high in elevation (about 7000 feet), was in a plateau and canyon region known as the Book Cliffs, which are covered with sagebrush, pinion pine and junipers.Very nice work Lloyd! My favorite is the sot of your Dad sighting through his scope. I hunt every year, although my main enjoyment is the great group of guys I hunt with. I can completely relate to your scenes, except the landscape is very different. I imagine it's otherwise just as much fun.
Glad to do so. Anytime.OK got it now. With the peculiar shape of the state, i thought NE as in the NE corner north of SLC... Well if one day i come across again (not any time soon though) maybe you'll honor me with some more Utah insider tips and, who knows, good stories...
Been over there around a dozen times, but never stayed long enough...
Good stuff, Corlan. I really like what you've done the that poster. The leaf out of the frame is very kewl.This last one (for now ) is one of preparatory files for the other poster print mentioned above...
The general context (-not the finished product, can't post it):
Then one of the original shots (jpeg reduced @ forum size):
Then a crop detail:

Ok, couple more details from the series :deadhorse::

Rob, if I understand your question right regarding DOF and diffraction - AFAIK DOF depends only on "film" format (at the constant aperture). So diffraction could come into play at high apertures which I haven't use for this pic.Alex, this is very nice with deep rich colors and smooth tonality. No doubt your client will be pleased.
I have a couple questions though. Given the small pixel size on the D3x sensor has it created any DOF issues before diffraction kicked in for you on this type of setup? How much if any post production enhancements are you doing with this camera... or are these images pretty much right out of the box?
Thanks in advance.
Rob
With that narration it's already a nice short movie...As I've mentioned here before, my father was born and raised on an Indian reservation in Northeastern Utah. He went away to war in Europe as a young man (something he's never talked about to anyone), and then attended college (still a rare thing among those from where he comes) where he met my mother (who was born in Boston, and raised there and in England). He returned home, and coached basketball, and taught math and health for nearly 40 years. The kids called him Chief Yellow Hat, as he somehow developed a preference for bright yellow baseball caps. He moves slowly now, having had three knee replacements (only two knees, but one had to be done again after 15 years), and a hip replacement last year, but his mind is sharp as a tack, and his hands (and aim) as rock steady as ever.
Hunting was a way of life for my father, and is intertwined in most of the memories and stories of his youth... it is simply part of who he is. Now at almost 84, he wanted to go one more time to an area he hunted in as a young man, but which had been closed to hunting for number of years, and which even now allows only a small number of permits each year. He and my brother applied for 9 years before finally succeeding this year. Though not hunting myself, I decided that this last hunt was something I should not miss.
The hunt was successful on many levels... we saw lots of deer (as indicated by the few samples I posted above); both my Dad and my brother took large bucks (I'll respect the sensitivities of some, and not post those images), but most of all just to be with my father one more time in the wild land of his youth... to hear the stories, and to see his joy at sharing this experience with us, is something I will never forget. And every once in while, the elder disappeared, and a young man I have only imagined appeared. It was strong medicine, it may take me a long time to understand just how strong.

This one really sings!
