I think you are absolutely right about compatability and its important to know who your going to shoot with. I’m just glad we are family and there are no expectations we just go with the flow..I definately would have gotten up early for shots as great as these, wonderful job.

Planning a road trip to Glacier/Yellowstone/Tetons NP’s this July. Traveling with an old freind and fellow photographer. Can’t wait but I especialy take to heart the compatability issue. My friend has been trying to get the early morning jump on me for 35 yrs, so far no luck! lol

Chuckle, just for the record, I’m not a morning person generally. However, when in a photgraphically interesting place, getting up for a dawn… no problem!

@Micki: This, I think, is my favorite shot from the whole trip. I’ve been purposely not looking at them … trying to detach. When I saw this one, I said: “Wow!”, too! This one will be printed this weekend and hung upon the wall very, very, soon.

@Mark: I did, too, after I had a crack at it! I love more contrast, too!

Wow, that view would be worth the entire trip in my book!

I’m like Chantel, too. I love to shoot early in the morning, and if we were out during a full moon, I’d have to try some looooong exposures around midnight. The only way to shoot predawn and late night is if you take a nappy in the afternoon sun…now that’s a vacation!

@Anita: Thank you! I am very glad that I made the trip, too! I’ve got my sites on the Grand Canyon, next! I have to, of course, get it approved by the head comptroller, AKA, my wife!

@Mark: I know what you mean about lateness, especially when I’m trying to get to a photo shoot! Each second is precious and the light changes so rapidly that even a miss by a minute or two can make a huge difference.

Regarding the image, I think that I’ll give that a try!

One of Craig’s podcasts about twilight talked a lot about being to places early, particularly in the mornings, so you can relax and not be rushed when the light is changing rapidly. This has become cemented into my routine practically. And if shooting with someone else, it annoys me to no end to have them be late. Glad to hear you had no such issues.

Paul – I love the composition of the top image. Gorgeous landscape and I love the light in the foreground. I would be curious to see what this looks like if you doubled the layer and set the blend mode to multiply but masked it out leaving it applied only to the sky.
