Doug--a spectacular image. Pretty much has everything you could ask for in a landscape. I see you got some new equipment--are you happy with it so far? The lens certainly seems to work nicely!

Doug Roane Thanks, David. The lens and the 5DMII are awesome!

Beautiful light and colors and it seems to be a wonderful place!

Doug Roane Thanks Ulrik. It was my first trip to Alaska, and I was blessed with 5 days of good weather while backpacking. It was fascinating beyond my expectations!

absolutely tremendous Doug.
What manner of trickery have you employed to achieve an image of such exposure clarity in such difficult lighting conditions, pray tell!
:)
JP

Doug Roane Thanks John!
It must be the new camera and lens!!! ;-)
Actually, as is common in my processing, rather than use ND grads, I blended exposures manually using layer masks to balance shadows and highlights

John Parminter Yep, I suspected as much and a fine job of it, I use this technique as well if not using ND grads in preference to HDR, yak!

Doug Roane Thank you Stan. This image was taken around 7:50 AM. Sunrise was about 6:40 - I had to wait for the sun to come over the peaks. Nice job on your website!

Beautiful image, Doug, wonderful work! Love it!

Doug Roane Thank you very much, Codrin. It's my favorite from my recent backpacking trip in Alaska.

I really like this one, Doug. Balanced lighting throughout, the sunstar really adds another level.
Cheers

Doug Roane Thanks Ansel. I was camped about 1/2 mile away and previsualized this shot the day before, though too late in the day. Instead of moving camp, we decided to stay, just so I could attempt this shot the next day. Fortunately, all the elements came together.
