I wish I had this same view at sunrise this clustered-barrel cactus enjoys.
I’m posting this as a follow up to my first post in this weeks WC theme. In that post I mentioned that most all of my MF & LF images are longer then most normal exposures as it were. Several factors for that as a result of the slow film, low light and the gear being used. This image was the only time I ever used any exposure past a minute or two. In this case as stated in my first post it was an 8 minute take resulting mostly from the film’s reciprocity factor.
Paul, what a classic Sierra view. The Alpen glow on Whitney is gorgeous. I am heading back to the Sierra in a few days, this image makes me really really happy.
Paul, indeed this clump of cacti have an outstanding view. However, I wouldn’t go and sit on them to enjoy it. The front to back clarity is terrific and the gentle extra brightness of the far peaks lets them set the scene. I remember reciprocity factors…
