Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #105 – March 04, 2018, 11:20:56 am The late Galen Rowell once wrote about photo documenting a difficult technical climb of half dome with Warren Harding in Yosemite for National Geographic. Because weight was at a premium and his Nikon Nikormat camera was heavy, he did the climb and made the photographs with a little Kodak Instamatic 500 camera. The photographs were published in National Geographic.Backpacker - Google BooksMountain Light Photography: Galen Rowell Artist's StatementIn the right hands, it is the photographer, not the gear. 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #106 – March 04, 2018, 01:55:13 pm I agree with the photographer's ability and creativity being a huge factor. But you can't discount a top quality glass lens coupled with a top camera with manual, aperture, and shutter settings along with quick focus if you're shooting any action.And 30+ years of experience. 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #107 – March 04, 2018, 05:37:17 pm Galen Rowell’s work is stunning. If you are passing through Bishop, Ca (eastern Sierras), I highly recommend stopping for an hour and take a slow walk through the Mountain Light Gallery, right there on 395. His color photos are displayed in very large format (like a big screen tv size) and will leave you agape. What’s most remarkable is that he did not do darkroom manipulation of his photos. He depended upon dogged preparation to be in the right place at the right time, and used only graduated density filters to get the camera to mimic the light-adapting range of the human eye (seeing shadow and light at the same time). He truly was a world class talent whose life was cut way too short in a plane crash that also claimed his wife-pilot. — Jon 4 Likes

We have a lot of "coffee table" photography books, and his are prominent, along with David Muench and Eliot Porter.Gone are the days of having to keep our film in coolers in the back of the Volkswagen, but the incentive to release that shutter just never seems to go away.

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #113 – March 06, 2018, 11:26:06 am To follow up on Paul Caponigro - his son is running a fabulous workshop, but it is out of our reach - both physically and fiscally. But in reading over the literature, I found this gem:Maine Digital Photography Black and White Printing WorkshopYou can get DVD's !!!"View Informative DVDsMy DVD series R/Evolution offers excellent resources to help you prepare for my workshops and review core material presented long afterwards."These are put out by John Paul - the son - and are very encouraging about quality. My husband has a favorite photograph that he wants to print in black and white, and has been chomping at the bit for such an opportunity as this workshop presents . . . but these more reasonably-accessible DVD's are now in my shopping cart!

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #119 – March 07, 2018, 07:54:51 pm Greg,Only the “Die Hards” are down below. We thought of upgrading for the view but the “hike up the hill” to visit Sue and Jim was enough to convince me stay in the low lands, besides the beach is only a few yards in front of us.That being said it would be nice to be in the Cat Birds Seat to see the Whale frolic about.
