Eau, nice Doc. Like how the women looks like she is in a dream. As a painter, I would stop short to do a painting of the boat scene. Thanks

Your reply about painting reminds me about my old 1960s lens converted for digital. I got it for...

Here's phase II building on that last one.
This test shot was taken in the redwoods at Jedediah Smith park this last Monday, and the new Canon 85mm 1.2 lens ...
Re: \"Redwood Season\" Arrived
Hope I can get down to see the Montgomery Giant someday. Sort of a trek from north Oregon, but someday.
Recently, after I encountered the wedding and at Stout Grove, and deciding to make wedding photography available in forest or redwoods, I did a few test shots...
I'll give it a watch.
Hope it's better than Ax Men.
So just how big and bad is the wood on average back east, compared to the west coast Pacific NW urban areas?

Re: \"Redwood Season\" Arrived
Just went back through redwood photos from a couple of weeks ago, and one I skipped-over ended up virtually the best for a large print. I picked up a 20" x 30" print of this one yesterday and it's so nice looking enlarged.
Howland Giant. Probably the largest...

Oh, I was wondering. Is the depth of field scale on the lens accurate with the conversion?

That's something that may take me a couple of weeks to get used to and figure out. I didn't even realize what the lines were until tonight.

A lot of this stuff starts somewhere, then get's refined as people have time to give feedback, complain or suggest.
30" would be smaller on the west coast than the east coast.
And as you pointed out, quite a difference between types of trees. A 30" Japanese maple would be rare if not almost...

These are very beautiful trees and places.
One day I would like to re-visit (family vacations as a child) the redwoods and I would love to see the sites you have visited.
Question: Is it possible to list the Lat and Long on these locations so that it...
Re: \"Redwood Season\" Arrived
Will keep trickling shots from this weekend. Many photos ...
Here's one from Jedediah Smith on the edge of a hill by Mill Creek. The Photomatix for processing is beginning to grow on me for some photos. It seems to offer a hybrid look between B&W and color.
Re: \"Redwood Season\" Arrived
There was a wedding at Stout Grove, Saturday night. Think as soon as the 1pm - 4pm rain deluge screeched to a halt, they went in and completed the ceremony. I strolled into the grove as they started their photo shoot.

For the last 7 days I've been hiking in Navarro Redwoods photographing the champion trees there, and their stumps. It's all 140 year old second growth. Trees up to 7 foot diameter and 200 feet tall. Not too shabby for second-growth, and not at all...

I would have made it up to see you but the forecast is too gloomy. Already started raining down here. Up there it can be a deluge. Good luck.
That pic of the sucker clump on the old James Irvine Trail turned out good. I usually prefer overcast days...
