[Leica] IMGS: Fall in the north

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

Yes, the line painter didn't have the best guidance system, but the 
shot was taken with the equivalent of a 370mm lens.

These were all shot with the Panasonic G1; the one of the island is 
with the 14-45 at 14mm and the others with the 45-200; the slope at 
72mm and the road/mountains at 185 and the caribou at 180mm. I had a 
Leica M8 with 28 and 50 with me, but the Panasonic saw more use due 
to the telephoto capabilities. I used the Leica a bit in low light 
conditions.

The valleys in the Yukon for the most are very wide and most of the 
mountains peaks are only 1500m or so higher than the valleys so 
wideangle shots often don't work. In Kluane Park the highest peak is 
nearly 6,000m (Mt. Logan, Canada's highest peak), but it's over 100km 
from the nearest highway.
