Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver

Second in a series from Whytecliff Park. Dealing with this image really made me miss my old darkroom. The 80dpi we get from our screens just can't capture the textures in the clouds or the detail in the rock shadow. The contrast limitations of a typical LCD screen are also shown in the highligts midway up the righthand side: to get any "hotness" in the whites requires blowing-out ("clipping") more of the image than should be necessary.

This image comes with a little poignancy, as the good friend I was with at the time slipped on the hillside just to the left and cracked a couple of ribs. But he assures me he will survive!Posted by Picasa
