Inspired by Zeph

[Doug P]

I was inspired by the images of trees clinging to life earlier and thought I would put one up as well. This is an area called Shot Rock in the Carson Pass of the Sierra. There is an overlook along with a rest area that is, well, placed in just the right spot at the right time ;-)

It never ceases to amaze, the power and the determination of the forces of nature, we are so fortunate to witness and be a part of.
Doug, in your images you successfully manage the color balance to perfection, I'm impressed.

Many thanks. I still seem to over pump from time to time and then when I see the print all I can do is sigh...

Your processing tilt towards a pastel palette creates a pleasant viewing experience in your images. I like how the skies and the rocks take a back seat here to the ancient pines.

This is really sweet Doug! I definitely need to get up and explore Carson pass and that area, it seems it's been too long for me and I don't recall all of these great locations you are posting.

My exploits with photography are judged by my print making abilities, which keeps the paper and pigment companies happy.
Printing is an art-form in itself, that few master.

I like this a lot. Great tree, nicely composed in the landscape, and great light in the sky.

This is great!
