Toroweap - on top

Thank you Danny for inviting me and Aaron for organizing such a great trip. Awesome location and great people what more can you ask.

This is my favorite - caught this while walking from one rim to the other.

My first post, please feel free to be honest, others on my site.

Nice capture Shimon. Good composition. My eye goes from the lower left corner across the image to the tree on the right.

Great shot, Shimon!!

Great exposure and the composition is wonderful as well!
I really like "View from the Edge" and "Enjoying the heat" in your gallery too!!

Nice work!

Shimon,
nice image!
I'd only recommend to be easier on the gradient when blending images...

Thanks Aaron, I heard a lot about you and your group. Too bad you guys didn't make it. Hope we can meet one day in a future trip.

Very nice! I'm curious to know if you used a polarizer for this shot. The sky seems a bit uneven.

Azzaro

That is a well done picture, Shimon!!!.... I really like it...... azzaro

I have tryed and tryed to get this specific tree in a comp "just right" with no sucess.... you show up and "poof" there it is a great comp.
I see now the 16mm is the way to go. (I need to follow you around with my note book)

Thanks, I used a circular polarizer so I don't think it would cause that effect - I think the sky was really like that.

Very nice composition Shimon
However, the gradiant in the sky is exactly what happens with a polarizer used on a wide angle lens, circular or not. I take that filter off when including large amounts of sky with any lens wider than 28mm.

Very nice!
