Welcome back!
Welcome back!
Thanks Randy. I posted a Lower Falls pic also that you can compare with the one you printed, several years seperate the two and you can see the changes that have taken place in the falls over that time.

I too favor # 1. Having never had the fortune to go there, I have to ask, what is that yellow stuff? Mud? Sulfer?

I like the vertical best, MT. I think the added detail keeps me looking at it longer, wishin' I were there!

Great job MT. I favor #2. This is not an expert opinion but an opinion.

Love the color. How did you get the sky so blue?
I didn't make the sky that blue, Mother Nature did. I just photographed it. No filters.

Thank you. The travertine is so washed out by sunlight during the day that detail is hard to catch later in the day.

The yellow is caused mostly by Sulfer. The volcanic activity near the surface boils the subterranean water aquifers and dissolves solids, they then boil to the surface and are deposited and the superheated water evaporates off as steam. The deposits are primarily travertine and calcium and limestone, but other trace minerals and metals can tint it.

I think #2 is quite a bit more dramatic.
Thanks RMM, I like to have verticals for magazine cover shots! LOL

Actually, I like them both. I see intent as a factor in choosing preference. If you want a beautiful mountain scene printed to hang on a wall, definitely the top one. If you were using it to accompany editorial content concerning the smoke, definitely the bottom one.

Hi MT,
You say that very nice blue sky is as shot. May I infer that means JPEG? Do you shoot in Vivid mode? I nearly always shoot D7000 in JPEG Vivid mode unless there are those pesky humans present. Then I shoot their natural normal drabness.

Yes Randy, Its a JPG Fine. I shot it in RAW at the same time in case it needed processing. Nice thing about the D7000 that you can record in RAW on one card and JPG on the second card and keep them seperate. The mode was set as Landscape, not Vivid, but I have customized a couple of the settings there, also a nice thing about the D7000.
