[Leica] IMG: OT Equip - Barker Pass

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

My final hike for the vacation took my daughter and me up to 8,400ft., about 
the same distance above Lake Tahoe as Lake Tahoe is above sea level.


The air was thin, sun extremely bright and company spectacular! This is a 
pass in the Pacific Crest Trail, from Washington to Southern California. 
Sister trail to the Appalachian and Continental Divide trails.

These from a new Canon system; first image is with a 45 tilt/shift lens. The 
branch in the lower right is about 1 foot away, Lake Tahoe is in the 
background. 

The second image had a huge dynamic range. I blended 3 exposures using HDRI 
software. Though not a completely natural look, I think it's effective in 
conveying the magnitude of the view.

In CS3 all images seem very sharp. I'll be printing a couple of them large 
to see how they look.
