Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / April 2008Ansel Adams - Yosemite
A good article with some phots: http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp I'll be in Yosemite for 4 days this summer, though mostly not where AA trekked. Cheers, Alan.

Heh, heh. Looks like me these days - but without the talent...

Unfortunately, no. * But it would definitely be fun to perhaps cross paths someday. Actually, I was referring to the oft-reproduced Cedric Wright photo that opened the above referenced article. Looks just like me and *my* 8x10 these days. Umm... except for the (very cool) car... the hat... the beard... the location... the background... oh yeah, and that pesky talent thing... Ken * I, too, have avoided - refused, actually - to ever visit Yosemite. I am one of those souls Mr. Crosby refers to in the article. I have a dread of driving through the valley for the first time and seeing only parking lots, buses, trash, air pollution, screaming kids, blaring radios, and half-eaten peanut butter sandwiches tossed along the roadside. I would definitely have to consider killing myself. >> A good article with some phots: >> http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > cool) car... the hat... the beard... the location... the background... oh > yeah, and that pesky talent thing... I have few doubts about your talent. I've threatened to rent a Horseman or some such, but never get around to it. > * I, too, have avoided - refused, actually - to ever visit Yosemite.

(This violates the rule: "If it's more than 500 ft from the car, it's not photogenic" that too many photogs seem chained to.)

My corollary (when I did shoot multiple formats) was: "if it's more than 50' from the car, it's a 35 mm job." Another firm rule was "if it takes two cases, it's a two-man job."

I'll leave the 300 f/2.8 behind. -DSLR (same lenses) -500 C/M + 4 lenses -1 tripod (fibre) with geared head. and the verticals will be well over 500', never mind the distance. (Hmm, gotta look into the mules...) No cases of beer though.

That must suck. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/96249811 >> A good article with some phots: >> http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > butter sandwiches tossed along the roadside.

I don't believe you are allowed to drive on the valley floor anymore.....You have to park outside the park, and take their shuttle busses the rest of the way......A great improvement over the way it used to be. - I am looking forward to the day when the same rule applies to the United States as a whole.....:^) >>> A good article with some phots: >>> http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > used to be. - I am looking forward to the day when the same rule > applies to the United States as a whole.....:^) That will be a definite sign of the apocalypse.

I think that's true for recreational purposes, but for a couple of years when I was working, I had a job where I could commute by train to work......It sure beat sitting stopped on the freeway for an hour or more. - I'd have gone that way anytime I could.....Unfortunately, there are too many jobs where you have to come and go at odd hours, and carry tools or other heavy equipment around with you, so commuting via public transportation isn't always an option....... The message <_6adnePH4sh8VonVnZ2dnUVZ_oaonZ2d@comcast.com> from "William Graham" <weg9@comcast.net> contains these words: > >> A good article with some phots: > >> http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > forward to the day when the same rule applies to the United States as a > whole.....:^) You can travel in the park via personal vehicle, bicycle, tour bus. http://www.yosemite.national-park.com/how.htm Deryck |
