Just got back from a few days in the Eastern Sierras and a couple of great days spent with Guy Tal in Utah. This one is from the Sierras. If anyone knows what kind of tree the pine is, please let me know.

Superb Dan.
I like everything in it.
How do you like the Vevia 100 in that kind of situation?
I know you didn't really liked it for sunrises/sets...

Thanks for showing

I think the composition is a little tight. However there is a lot of details!

Glad you're back. Nice shot. I know there is an insane amount of detail in that tranny :)

Dan, very nice scene with wonderful colors. I wish the tree weren't clipped at the top though.

Splendid scene well composed. I'd increase the contrast a bit as it does look slightly flat to me.

Having seen it on a light table, I wish you could post it larger. I love the combination fo colors here. Hard to tell what kind of pine this is at this size but my guess would be either lodgepole or ponderosa.

It looks to me like a Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis). The Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) is somewhat similar, but unlike your example, it usually has a rapidly tapering trunk and wide crown.

I shot Velvia 100F and Provia 100F in situations where I needed the extra speed because of wind and where regular Velvia's reciprocity problems would have resulted in incredibly long exposures.

In those cases, Provia 100F worked well. It doesn't do well in the coastal situations that I used it in but I have no complaints with the photos that I shot in the Sierras and Utah.

My monitor is running dark. I darkened the image and added some contrast.
