I have been very overwhelmed with work and thus have a large backlog of images to process.  I made this image last month at Happy Isle in Yosemite, which is an amazing place anytime but especially during high water.  This subtle image is part of my ongoing efforts to reveal the Inner Yosemite!  I hope you enjoy it and also hope to post more new work soon.

Fine Print Offer from The Ansel Adams Gallery

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Winter, Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, California 2008

I am happy to let you know about a new Fine Print offer just announced by The Ansel Adams Gallery.  I have been honored to be the first artist for this exciting new series among the elite group of photographers represented by the Gallery.  Two of my recent images are being offered at an exceptional discount of 25% for a limited time.  The sale began this morning and will end at 6PM on Sunday, June 12th.

The two images, never printed previously, will be hand printed by me using archival inks on my high quality inkjet printer, then mounted and over-matted using archival materials.  The prints will be signed and numbered with print details included on the label attached on the back of the print.  For more details on my printing process, see Fine Art Print Information on my web site.

I hope you will check for further details on Gallery’s site, pass it on to your friends, on Facebook, Twitter or on your blog.  Below you can see the images, and read the story of making each photograph.

The Ansel Adams Gallery has represented my fine art photographs since 1983, after Ansel viewed my prints himself. I am especially excited because I knew Ansel personally and his mentorship greatly inspired my career in landscape photography.

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM__1/15 sec at f / 16__ISO 400

Last week, I was in the Toronto area with my family for a wedding.  I brought along my camera and a few lenses in case I found inspiration.  Staying at our  family’s home,  I took a short walk about their property on a drizzly day.  I am not sure if these plants are hosta, or maybe veratrum, but I know I loved the patterns.  Does anyone know the common and/or latin name?

Thanks for reading my blog.  Stay tuned for new postings soon regarding a special Fine Print offer!  To ensure receiving info about my Fine Prints, ebooks, online workshops and more, be sure to sign up for my email newsletter.

New Morning Light Image – Spring Oak, Coarsegold, California 2011

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

This morning, I photographed a wonderful spreading oak tree with brilliant morning sunlight.  Since the contrast was strong and I was aiming into the sun, I made seven exposures with .5 stops between frames.  After importing the files in Lightroom, I applied the Lens Correction for my Canon 16-35mm zoom, then exported to Nik HDR Efex Pro.  I just started using this software so am slowing learning the many processing options it offers and exploring its potential for me. So far, so good!

Enjoy!  Bill
