Corey…did you know about this? You are amazing…
Special eyes! Corey. This is awesome!
Thanks for the great report!That’s really cool photos! the local people portraits are as intriguing as the beautiful sceneries. Thanks for sharing.
My suggestion is to start with something you feel familar and comfortable. get to know your subjects, to know the sports, and to know your camera. Also, you might want to see more photographer’s works to build up your confidence. You may discover your unique style! There are no such “bad” photos… only “wrong” photos that have been expressed in a wrong way.
I remember a story about Picasso~ a Mom claimed her son’s doddles are just as good as Picasso’s painting… Piscasso replied, in some circumstance he agree.
IF you guys don’t care about the edge distortion. Try to reverse the 24mm or 20 mm lens. They will get into 2:1 to 5:1 and have some special effect. Me and my friend usually use this set up to shoot butterfly eggs in field.
some quick search

Thank you very much, Paul. It’s a surprise and a sweet treat to me. Be honest, your works inpired me a lot! I wish I can meet you soon! Thanks again!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_system#Exposure_zones
attached some information about zone system in wiki.
The two main steps to reach tonal richness in zone system are,
1) pre-determine the zone V and the density range of the photo before exposure. This is important becasue by place the right subject in the zone V meter will give you a good cover of the detail texture and also the intensional shifting of the “right exporsure” will influence the post development. see the web info,
2) film development adjustment. – expansion and contraction-.
Not sure I would agree with that, highlights were a big problem with early digital cameras and might still be a problem with poor processing of current models, but I’m very happy with what I’m getting.
The DsIII (as an example) renders beautiful tonal range that’s far better IMHO than slides ever were, but like slide film, you have to get things right to get the best results.That means saying no to Jpegs, auto white balance and blanket contrast settings and learning everything you can about proper exposure in shooting and post processing.
That’s what the old school heros like Ansel Adams and Weston did, they were in control of the image from start to finish and took no short cuts.[/quote]
I agree with you David! I know you are explaining based on your experience!I feel the new digital system have improved the tonal richness a lot… I think not only commericial photographers but also the fine art guys start to appreciate this improvement.
In general (conventional opinions), medium (large) format cameras are better than SLR in capturing the tonal richness. Canon lens are softer (less sharp) than Nikon lens; and Zeiss lens are softer than Leica lens.
Using “soft” or “sharp” lens are personal preference. In general, sharp lens are good in micro and wide-angle shooting… (this make Nikon (Leica) users proud…) however, soft lens will have more richness …and easy to manipulate when they get into the digital format (portrait and wildlife people love Canons and Contax). (This is just conventional knowledge and my opinion… there are still lot’s of exceptions within different brands)
Black has been very good to us this year. We are doing pretty well this week by swing the black boss …dead drift and swing slowly entice more strikes this week…
a charcoal work I did today… it’s really fun to push the powder around… 😀
I put the fly in front of the fish … and it looks like the fish just throw the hook…yuhina

Joel….
I have to admit your photo is one of the creative art I ever seen! I guess there are lot’s of snow up there… keep them coming!
Thanks Rich,
These are great photos! This remind me when I was in college and did crazy for mountaineering…like your way, I always had a little P&S in my front pocket, so I don’t need to reload my backpack… 🙂Jay,
Go to the website Utah on the fly. There are many nice and knowledgable local people there ready for help.
I love fish Provo. the spring time maybe a little bit challenge, I never fish there in the winter/spring time… midge fishing maybe. There are tons of public accesses on the provo… and the medium size river just perfect for some big browns. Enjoy! And looking forward to read your report!
