Dave has gone to the dark side

First Abstract and Tessellation, and NOW ...(wait for it)....HDR. Is no one safe? 8-0


Very nice by the way. kurt

Dave! What fun to sit here on a Saturday morning and see you playing with color and abstractions. I smiled and laughed (much needed!) at this document of those give superstars!
Thanks?

Dave, The V-shaped cloud formation going off to the horizon plus the strong b&w make this an emotional shot - a feeling of desolation and eternity. A Google check of "Ansel Adams Monument Valley images" brought up dozens of folks trying the same shot, but none come close to conveying the feeling you have captured. John M

Spectacular capture Dave!!

I especially like the highlighted firs on the left

love the angles and colors

it's almost like they are at the neighborhood bar discussing the days catch--very nice

hi dave --
nice pics — i especially like the first boat and stars — great composition and nice tones in the water .... the lighthouse pics are nice, but you misidentified the location — it wasn't brookings, it was the battery point lighthouse in crescent city ......

I love the colors-reminds me of where I grew up on the East coast

My Dear Mr. McIntire,
Any praises for your peerless images are redundant at this point. You have a way of doing color that does not distract. It is no secret that I find that color is --so overwhelming is it to the human experience-- often a negative (no pun, there) element in an image.
My question therefore is: How does an old Geezer such as yerself manage to get such a great photograph and not get wet or, worse, drowned in the process?
Thank you for sharing these great pictures! rosie
PS.....It is fun to compare them with Rich's.

These are all wonderful but I was particularly struck by the cloud/textures of Cloud Flame, and by the color banding in Goosenecks 2. Dead Horse 2 looks like something out of Dante - probably more than one horse met its end there.

You hit all the SW hot-spots and captured them perfectly...I guess I don't need to go back - I'll just relive the SW through your photos ;-)

the glen canyon dam no. 2 is a stunning view --- all the landscapes are great, but some are special, including green river overlook and park avenue ..... it was also nice to see some new versions of a few favorites of yours you've shot in the past in b+w, such as double arch, and two old friends from capital reef--spring tree and the castle .... the monument valley shots are also fine, in particular the ansel reprise of monument valley

Thanks for the kind words. We were lucky with the weather in that we had no rain. Most days were overcast, so I had to jazz up the colors a bit. In any case, I wish I could have spent a month at each location instead of two days.

the lunar eclipse came out well — and you didn't have to stay up as late as last time ..... carol ann said it reminded her of a mozzarella stuffed olive just before it went into full eclipse (and just after the time you took this shot)
