Hard to leave Moab with views like this on your way out of town

Antelope Island

Love the look of that second Antelope Island shot. Nice work!

Looks like a scene out of Narnia or Middle Earth - is that shot heavily filtered/post-processed or was the natural light that amazing?

[dfinn]

The light was really good but it’s been processed with nik color efex some.

Love the look of that second Antelope Island shot. Nice work!

Agreed. Great feeling of depth and scale in that shot. Nice processing without being too heavy handed as well.

Spring sun finally finds it's way into Robe Canyon. Greenery on the canyon walls marks winter's high water line

Teton Pass at sunset when I rolled into Jackson last week...

A couple from the Ultra4 race a few weekends ago

















Would highly recommend going to one of their races if you have the opportunity. The amateur classes were ok... the pros, on a whole different level.

Those machines are nuts.

Little beach time this week.

Don't ask why, I was kind of in a hurry and ended up having to pull a lot of shadow out since the light was really contrasty at the lip. Technically, I'd say this photo was terribly executed but it turned out really well.

Such is the case on the river trying to rip stuff out of a dry bag with water dripping off of your elbow pads and helmet and still trying to get a picture. Typically I'll go with shutter priority on something like 1/1250 or 1/1000, auto ISO, try to get the auto focus spot on and let the camera do the work and fix it later in PP. Whitewater really fools the light meter too.

[Supermoon]

Rad shot either way. The right place at the right time is more important than being technically perfect. Especially these days.

Could you get away with the sunny 16 rule most of the time? If my meter is going nuts that’s usually what I default to if I have to hurry.

[zion zig zag]

I’m just trying to learn. When I see a photo that resonates with me I’m always curious how you got there.

Supermoon, what is the sunny 16 rule?

Supermoon, what is the sunny 16 rule?

On a sunny day, the proper exposure is always f16 with your shutter speed equal to your film speed. So for example, if you are shooting at ISO 400, your SS is 1/400.

If you can do the maths (which i rarely can), you can calculate it out for any aperture/ISO/SS combo. So f8 would equal 1/800 at ISO 400.

[smmokan]

I don’t think I ever shoot f/16... most lenses are sharpest around f/8 to f/11.

The important thing with action shots is to be able to freeze the action... everything else is kind of secondary, I think.
