Techniques, Tips, Trips, and Musings about my Work

Beautiful red clouds float over Cadillac Mountain, Acadia National Park. Shot with a Sony α900 and a Zeiss 24-70mm lens set to 24mm. The image was exposed at ISO 200 at f16 for 2 seconds. The RAW file was processed in Adobe LR and Photoshop.

Those of you who visit on a regular basis will notice a change in the design of the blog. This is a new template called Monochrome that was just added to the WordPress Theme Library. I think its a little more dramatic and helps frame the images. Let me know what you think.

Todays post was shot earlier this fall on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park. I was visiting the park to do some survey work and wound up on the mountain in the late evening. The sun was just setting below the horizon off to image left and was subtly lighting up the the boulders. There was three stop difference between the foreground rocks and the sky. To hold the sky in check I used a Singh-Ray 3-stop, soft edge, split neutral density filter. I only had the red in the clouds for a few minutes before the light faded.
