Excellent lighting. I was there at high noon, more or less, so all my photos ended up washed out.
Thanks man. Yeah high noon is hard to work with. Best bet is use a red filter, and acquire a b&w image. You end up with the blue skies that look almost black. Makes for a very cool “Ansel Adams†look.
These days that result can be achieved with the “noir†filter that’s built in to the iPhone. Or the “silvered†filter on the photoshop app.
That's got stunning color saturation!
That KOA campground there is a good one too.
Fuji Velvia 50 was the s back in the day. Professional color posstive (slide) film that popped. ISO 50, you pretty much had to use a tripod. But when shooting nature it was the best. The 6x7 film size makes for a huge image. Could easily yield 100mpxl image. Miss shooting film. It was a real challenge and much more rewarding than digital.
