I was there a few weeks before the first major fire started (there was a smaller one on the far northwestern side of the park when I got there). In fact in one of the turnouts I used I’m pretty sure was pretty close to a location that was burned through or actually where I suspect may have accidentally started (because the pullout is pretty suspiciously close to where the fire started, from the waterline uphill to the north). Not saying it was intentional, but when people are around…
Hey Hal, I’m really late to this party, but I was wondering if you had a full-res/full size version of this that I can set as my desktop background? It’s absolutely stunning.
Holy smokes that picture is awesome on a 2-monitor setup. Spreads all out. Fabulous. Thanks for asking Triggercut & Hal9000 - thank you for that picture!
Oh, and I wanted to put this in a separate post and not the last one, but thanks to all the folks sharing their work in this thread. You all are ridiculously talented in ways that I can’t even fathom. I don’t comment much here, but I’m fascinated by photographs and composition and everything that goes into them, and when I see this thread bumped with new photos, I always get a little anticipatory adrenaline shot, knowing I’m about to see something pretty awesome.
I agree with Triggercut! This thread always makes my day! Alan’s photos cause me a lost of wistful moments, though. ;)
TC, Tman, and KK thank you very much! I’m surprised and honored. That panorama was 21 separate shots. There was a little bit of smoke and a little bit of humidity, so I took a chance and clicked the ol’ shutter button. Honestly, though, it’s not due to my own talent. The Wind River Range is simply the most stunning range I’ve ever hiked.
How can I get it large images to stretch across 2 monitors on Windows 7? Sorry for that noob question. I’ve seen pictures on this thread that I’d like to do that with!
The only native way to get multi display spanning on Win 7 is to choose to TILE the wallpaper picture in settings. That’s not exactly a great fit all the time.
Bless you, mono! Grace, grace to it! I downloaded the program, as my Windows 7 is fantastic, and so far my other machine with Windows 10 is less fantastic. :D
krazykrok, that picture of Esther still amazes me. I often see wild animals when I’m out on hikes, but I only take a light, cheap lens with me because, well, every ounce matters. Then I see the wild variety of animals you have, and I realize I see like…5 different types, and I don’t mind as much.
Wow, you really confused me there for a second!
Seemed like you were implying that those pics were taken in Alaska & I couldn’t believe that its THAT bloody dry up there in the north.
(Hey, I’m a foreigner & all I know is that Joshua Tree is a U2 Album and Rainbow Basin doesn’t ring any bells)
Wow, that first one is really amazing. It really articulates the idea of a sphere coming out from behind a shadow, if that makes any sense. Fine, fine work.
