Photo Forum / Photo Technique / Nature Photography / October 2003return to 'The Wave'
hello ... after two years I returned to this place. I was strongly fascinated - as the first time. I would like to know, how the photos act on the unbiased viewer ?? Thanx for looking ... Peter  Signature------------------------------------------------------------ N E W gallery on http://www.fauland-photography.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Nice- ever do these in color? Dukephoto Hi, > Nice- ever do these in color? I also shot on Fuji Velvia ... I will also put those pics on the web ... Peter Signature---------------------------------------- http://www.fauland-photography.com ---------------------------------------- >From: mdcore@aol.com (MDCORE) >Nice- ever do these in color? Here are a couple of color shots of the Wave area by one of the locals, shot on 8x10" sheet film. He prints these very large as Ilfochromes and has a gallery just outside Zion National Park in Springdale. He has ALMOST (but not quite) recovered from the "torching of Delicate Arch incident" by now ... http://www.fatali.com/gallery/SwirlingStone/Wave.html http://www.fatali.com/gallery/SwirlingStone/TwistOfFate.html http://www.fatali.com/gallery/SwirlingStone/Reflections.html http://www.fatali.com/gallery/SwirlingStone/DancingLines.html http://www.fatali.com/gallery/SwirlingStone/Swirls.html and similar in the other portfolios Here's the archetypal shot, by Jack Dykinga ... every time I go up there someone has dragged a cedar tree root into this pool (the rare times it has water) to try to copy this shot (mea culpa). But no one ever got it quite like this again. http://www.dykinga.com/gallery/viewer/galviewer2.html It's a wonderful place, no matter how many times it's been shot.

Well, I'm a "biased viewer" I guess, since I've been there a dozen times ... but anyway, the problem shooting in a place like this is that so many talented photographers have shot it before you that it's easy to just shoot the same compositions. I know some of my shots are pretty much identical to what Fatali or Dykinga shot, for example (except mine weren't on 8x10 or 4x5 sheet film :). Using black/white was a very good idea, made for some dramatic scenes, especially with the wide angles. Nice job, Peter. You were able to put a different twist on it and should be congratulated. Did you ever keep going down Wire Pass and shoot b/w in Buckskin Gulch? When I had my own darkroom that was my favorite spot for b/w, at least in the rare years it was dry. Bill Hi Bill ! > Well, I'm a "biased viewer" I guess, since I've been there a dozen times ... You are really lucky man ... :-) > Using black/white was a very good idea, made for some dramatic scenes, > especially with the wide angles. Nice job, Peter. You were able to put a > different twist on it and should be congratulated. Thanks a lot ! For me it's very interesting to be asked all the time "Do you have that in color ?" For me, the sharp and precise lines of the different layers of sandstone are _predestinated_ to be shot in black&white !! You should see the slides (I always use Agfa Scala!) ... > Did you ever keep going down Wire Pass and shoot b/w in Buckskin Gulch?

In the Coyote Buttes (North) section of the Paria Canyon - Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness area pretty much right on the Utah - Arizona border (you park in Utah and cross the border hiking in). About an hour drive from either Page, AZ or Kanab, UT. https://www.az.blm.gov/paria/ http://azwww.az.blm.gov/rec/pariaver.htm It's hard to get a permit (10 per day in advance -- usually taken within minutes once made available for prime times -- and sometimes a few permits are available for walk-ups in Kanab or at the Paria Ranger Station) and you have to hike in about 3 miles over rough country to get there. But worth it. Bill > >From: Liz liz@v-liz.co.uk > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Utah and cross the border hiking in). About an hour drive from either Page, AZ > or Kanab, UT. Aaaah Pity I didn't know about it before our "Great SW Trip" a couple of years back - but that was a *very* rushed four weeks anyway. Never mind, another time, maybe. Tx for the info.

Anyway here are my biased comments: First of all your photos are great in black and white. The Wave: looks wonderful in black and white. Mirror Lake: I always wondered if someone dragged that log into the site. I have photos of it too. We have taken it for granted that it was not planted there. Probably Fatali dragged it there (my bad!) Created by sand: a nice hourglass shaped graphic of a location I took but didn't like my photos. Works better in B&W. Timelines: I thought I was the only one to spot this scene. I love how the striations curve and change 180 degrees. I've only been there twice (unlike lucky Bill) and plan to return in the spring. Warren Looks absolutely awesome. I do wonder what they would look like in color? I'm not much of a BW fan myself. But I'm not a critic either. :D > hello ... > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Peter |
