Peta, try to time your arrival here with low tide. After a short hike, this shot can be captured on most evenings.

Simply stunning Marc. The colours are gorgeous and very eye catching. I love the balance between the light and dark areas. The sun shining through the arch is what gives this image it's life otherwise it would be a superb silhouette. When you shoot the image it becomes an outstanding photo and an absolute treat to view. Wonderful work. I sure hope I bump into you out there somewhere some day. Great to see your work on the front page today. Congratulations again for that one.

Cheers - Ann :)

I'm very glad you've come to Usefilm... I am enjoying your photos and respect the dedication and skill they represent. I was also interested to read your experience with digital images and the 5D. This is a stunning image... I shall be watching for more.

Marc -- Ecola State Park! What a wonderful place! We spent a great deal of time there last August. It was one of the highlights of our trip. One of my favorite captures from this beach is a lone man standing at water’s edge gazing out into the mist. Your translation of this mystical place is wonderful! The composition and color palette is first rate.

You might just surprise yourself once you become more familiar with processing (RAW particularly) and printing (particularly sharpening) digital images Barry. I can assure you that prints from my 5D look very nearly as detailed as those from 6x7 film and totally blow away 35mm. I've sent out many to the skeptics. This despite everything we hear about resolution. When I started scanning film I thought 4000dpi would be a USEABLE resolution - but it's not! Images from the 5D are tack sharp even at 100% if sharpened correctly and print amazingly well, even at only 100ppi. I've done some 30x40's that really shocked me.

Even with my relatively basic PS knoledge, I don't have much trouble capturing Velvia-esque colors. In fact, not only can one emulate the saturated Velvia, but also capture the neutral tones more accurately while doing so. Using the JPEG + RAW can be very advantageous. The in-camera JPEG options can make sharp, saturated images easy and the RAW can be reserved for more significant adjustments or when you just have a lot of time to sit and fine-tune the image.

In my few months with digital, it has exceeded most of my expectations.

You've captured a fantastic moment here Marc. Brilliant image and carefully managed. How're you finding the 5D versus Velvia? I've been disappointed by the resolution of the current crop of DSLRs vs medium format film but they're certainly handy to use.

Thanks Jim. I've been enjoying UseFilm more and more. No applied vignette here but I did use that 2-stop soft to darken the left side for a bit more emphisis on the sunbeams.

I knew it wouldn't take too long for you to grab attention here. This is one of my favorites. Stunning is the only way to describe it. Been messing around with one of my images of Delicate Arch lately and your evil influence has pursuaded an approach I've taken. I've tried darkening the corners just a tad, but I'm not sure I've found the right balance yet. This image doesn't seem to have any vignetting... is there?

I once drove south from San Fransisco and everyone told me I should have gone north. I can see what they meant now! All the images in your portfolio are absolutely stunning.
