Three Generations

...

Great pics! Hope you were able to get one with all 3 generations.

What is the secret to these incredible shots? Sunrise conditions? Camera tricks? Photoshop? There has got to be something I'm just missing.

Awesome photos are usual. I hope I get to climb with my dad again.

Thanks John. I think the secret is in the lighting and the camera I use, a Sigma SD-14.

Having a good piece of glass helps. I shoot in RAW and then did a conversion to jpeg.

Cool. I had my boys up in the Wind Rivers over Labor Day. We were throwing rocks into the Deep Lake at one point:

Back at camp under Haystack Pk:

I use a "graduated neutral density filter" which really helps for sunrises, sunsets and reflections, but you can get similar results by taking two exposures and merging them in photoshop, which I think is more popular these days.

Sounds like a great trip and some beautiful pictures to go along with it. Like father, like son, like sons, nice!

Mike, I use Grad ND's for reflections occasionally. Don't use photoshop. Don't have time to screw around making fake photos by merging etc. I like those ones you took. I love the Winds.

Found this one from July...pretty rare to find pictures of me. I don't get in front of the lens much. I forgot to get one of all of us on the trip.

I agree...I don't have time to mess with PS...best to get it right in the first place. Does this make us old and crotchety?

Here's another one from this summer....
