Glacial erratics in snow, Olmsted Point, Yosemite National Park, California

Here is another newly scanned image from 4×5 film.  The film was exposed using a Wista 4×5 Metal Field camera in 1988.  It is about time I brought it out of “moth balls!”

I made this image during a late fall snowstorm.  Soon afterward, the road was closed and I headed down to my home in El Portal.

Hope to hear your feedback,

Bill

I am a collector.  I have shells, rocks, tree bark and more in boxes  and drawers that I look through now and again for the memories and possible photographs.  I also have salsify seedheads that I have saved from summers past.

Last month, I pulled out my handy piece of black velvet on my table and scattered the seeds.  I photographed them over several days, in a variety of window light.  The original version of this image was vertical, but my assistant John O’Connor had the idea of creating a pano version.  The seeds on the right were originally below the main group, but John suggested this arrangement, and I said Yes!  Two heads are better than one?!  Thanks, John.

Enjoy!   Bill
