I probably said this the last time I posted in one of your threads, but I'll say it again: Wow, your work keeps getting better over the years! I know you shoot people/weddings mostly, but I am a big fan of taking the processing style from that genre into landscapes. Gorgeous.

Thanks for the kind words, but it is it's practically cheating up there it's so gorgeous.

btw here is the train shot in BW as well..can't decide whihc I like better

More good shots Daniel!

That first train shot looks "strangely" almost exactly like the Durango to Silverton (CO) famous mountain curve.

I like the BW version and I really like the last one. It almost gives it a model/miniature feel.

Qarik, you and I have some very similar images



Was there almost exactly one year ago on my honeymoon. I also have the shots of the fjord and glacier which resides at the end of it.

Your #3 is absolutely stunning, also. How'd you achieve that look?!

whoa! thats the broken bridge! haha

#3 was a no brainer really..sometimes we like to think we are skilled at photography but sometimes it just dumb luck ..see it, frame it, and expose it correctly. Then in post punched up clarity, vibrance, sharpening. Then created pseudo HDR by bringing down highlights, lifting shadows and readjusting exposure bar to get a look I like. (ie hit a preset )

Hahhaha..Hey I love a good preset, especially when it looks like you did it all yourself!

I can't say that my 7D images had that much data hanging out in the histogram to make the images look quite that nice. Maybe it was just the day, but something tells me it's that D700's dynamic range. AWW YEAH!

Great shots, bud. I'm sure you all had a blast. We did Carnival, which was pretty nice too. Did you all do the hiking in Skagway? Amazing!

Good stuff, Daniel. I like #1 (both versions), 3 and 4 the best. I've been on that same train ride (White Pass Railway) before, and that's a really good comp you captured.

My wife and I did an AK inland passage cruise on Celebrity back in 2005. Might be time to go back with the kids now. Would you recommend the Disney cruise?

Incredible pictures!!!!

Very nice! I have a definite preference for the black and white version.
