Beautiful composition Michael, I love the clear colors and the great contrast in the sky, I recognize these places :) Heh-heh, we were there almost at the same time! Now I know where your comment about the Wyoming sky comes from! Great portfolio, Michael! I love your grand panoramas too, a pleasure to view! Ina

Hey, thanks for the PS gradation tutorial, Michael! You know with PS and other image editing s/w, we won't have to lug around too many filters.

Mark:
I don't own a grad filter, but based on feedback from you and others I probably need one. I applied the gradation later in Photoshop. There is a Usefilm walkthrough of the technique: http://www.usefilm.com/photo_forum/14/577892/

If I had a grad filter and knew how to use it at the time, I would have used it. I instead applied a gradiation in Photoshop. I posted a walkthrough of how I do it on Usefilm: http://www.usefilm.com/photo_forum/14/577892/

Gorgeous view. You really have everything in harmony. 'Was wondering did you use a grad nd filter for the sky?

Great shot! I think I've taken a shot of this place, but mine are not nearly as nice as this. Love the wide angle and the contrasting colors! Yellowstone is certainly one of the most unique places of this wonderful planet of ours...

Dear Michael,
great landscape shot. colors and detail are amazing, very good perspective. not sure which shutter you used but perhaps a longer shutter would help to catch more of the steam? just an idea though.
well done!
take care,
thilo

michael, by no means did i imply that you should remove them from the photo. i agree with your "light touch" philosophy. i was simply saying that i think (some) NP's are a bit overcrowded. i think this diminishes their raw beauty and the experience as a whole. however, as you stated, they are there for all of us and any restrictions will probably simply succeed in negating the experience for most of us. i was just wishing ;^)
take care,
tom

Tom - removing the people is not as hard as you think. However, I favor a "light touch" with Photoshop, altering brightness, contrast, and saturation in specific locations.
There are some disrespectful people on public lands, but it is for all, and the best all of us can do is actually talk to people when they do wrong.

michael, i hate to repeat what everyone else has said but the sky really pops on this one. great job with the depth and texture on the clouds! excellent color and sharpness all the way around. i just wish the tourists weren't there ;^) nothing you (or any of us) can do about that though. but it shows one of the things that bugs me about the national park experience. way too many folks. many of which are disrespectful to these national treasures. that's besides the point... excellent shot!
take care,
tom
ps - saw, bookmarked, and tried out your tutorial. very good stuff! got any more tips? ;^)

Bart:
I freely admit I used the dark magic of PS on the sky. I shoot with a linear polarizer, but I still wanted more depth. (I will be buying a ND graduated filter soon based on all the PS stuff I've had to do after the fact).
I have posted a walkthrough of how to drop in grad filter look to a photo after the fact in PS. Would appreciate a critique of the walkthrough from you since you have quite the deft hand at PS.

A perfect landscape from a fantastic locat ion. Great job on the sky, a polarizer I'm guessing. Possibly a ND grad filter.
