Finally managed to download and review some Hawaii pictures tonight. It's always good allowing some time between shooting and editing because you're not so emotionally connected to the images at this stage....
Anyway, here's one from the obscenely rugged Nā Pali Coast on Kauaʻi, Hawaii. Not sure about you, but I was certainly expecting a few low-flying teradactyl to come swooping past as I was harnessed onto the the side of the helicopter!
After receiving a request to show more UK content on this stream-of-consciousness, here is a newly processed scan from Wast Water in the Lake District of England.
Although Fuji Velvia was working hard to cope the with dynamic range, the dramatic light and awe-inspiring view of Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike more than make up for any shortcomings...
If there was ever proof that light comes before everything in photography then check out the following pictures.
First is of a dramatic shaft of light breaking onto a hidden lake in the Swiss Alps.
Next is a view of the incredible Mount Parinacota in Chile and Boliva with a cloud break directly above the snow covered summit.
Two scenes separated by a gulf of distance and culture yet joined by the visual interplay of light and shadow.
