This grove of old growth redwoods is about 10 minutes from where I live. Apparently the Ewok party from Return of the Jedi was filmed here. It's probably about a 15 minute drive from there to Lucas' Sky Walker Ranch.

Beautiful image Dan.

How do you like Astia? Why did you push?

I like it for contrasty scenes like this. I don't think I could have done this with Velvia. Astia 100F doesn't have the reciprocity problems of Velvia either. I don't know why I pushed it here. Under the redwoods it is usally very dark and this was no exception but there was no wind and I really didn't have to push it. Just habit I guess.

I punched up the greens a bit because I remember how vibrant the greens were when I was shooting. I didn't change the contrast or saturation on the rest of the image at all.
