working on something different a little while ' call it refreshing the palette. I've been optimizing and printing images for my 'featured artist' show next month at the Silverdale Fine Arts gallery ... all new prints and in one theme... I'm quite busy getting everything ready... more about it soon. 
Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains, Washington©2006 Ed BookI made this image about a mile from our home on Nika Trail a couple years ago and just picked it at random to optimize before checking back into my project. (no, the theme of the collection of images isn't landscape) I'll bet some who keep up with what I post could guess... a subject that's gotten good reviews herebouts on LJ.

 ©2007 Ed BookI made this image last weekend after a workshop where I was helping out. The composition was good as was the idea to display the ripples and reflections in the foreground. I used a polarizer to increase the contrast and deepen the color and cut haze but I used it at minimum so the water would still reflect. Although the sun was behind me, there were enough clouds bouncing light around that there was still some effect -- and the sun wasn't exactly in line with my lens. There's a big problem with this image and the other dozen I made with the clouds moving across the sky was that I set up and chose f/9 for aperture because it's about the sharpest for this lens (about two stops down from full open with the aperture). I focused about a third of the way from the water in the foreground to the mountains so they would both be in focus (hyperfocal distance) but unfortunately, I moved the lens after I last looked through it and screwed up the distant focus. But, the image is a good example (a good example of what can happen wrong when you don't pay attention to what you're doing).
