Excellent work Michael!

Michael...I was looking on your site at the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia shot and this is going to sound crazy but I think we may have been there on the very same day or very closely. I was there on 10/14/07 and have shots that are almost identical to the one you have too. How crazy is that?? Even crazier is I was just working on a couple of those today. Crazy right?!?!?!?

Gorgeous colors!


Michael Mellen   {K:10589} 2/15/2009
I don't remember the exact date, but those shots of Monongahela National Forest were taken in October of 2007. The waterfalls were shot shortly after sunrise, and was the highlight of my trip!

Thanks for commenting on my image.

Magnificent landscape and shot very excellent. I guess you took a hundreds of shots there. I would like to be there =) Great composition and exposure. I wonder how would it look on Velvia.
Gratulations!


Michael Mellen   {K:10589} 4/29/2009
Batek,
I did shoot this scene on both Provia and Velvia 50, and my preference was Provia. Provia seems to have a little more exposure lattitude. I spent about three days in Aspen, and this was taken on the last day of our trip. I only shot three rolls of film at this specific location, at 10 shots per roll.
Thank you very much for commenting....

Very best wishes... Mike


Ann  Van Breemen   {K:13508} 4/29/2009
This is fantastic. This is just the sort of photo I was hoping to take at some point on our trip, but just didn't find myself in the right place at the right time. Maybe next time.:)

My jaw is dropping as I look through your work Michael.....and oh dear, you still use film. ;)
Seeing your work makes me wish I had gone with a camera like yours when I got more involved. Your photo almost made me fall into the water. Very nice.

Thank you so much for the kind comment. I had used some digital in the past but I have always preferred the look of film. I guess I am a die-hard film user.

Thanks again, very best wishes to you........... Mike
