Passing storms but little rain, low side light, mild temperatures and the drama of vast vistas. It's Death Valley in the fall! The workshop is now been posted and available for registration!
Lately there has been much discussion on photographic websites suggesting that 4x6" grad filters are "too big" to used effectively on full frame 35mm DSLR's. I think this is erroneous. Darwin Wiggitt on the Singh-Ray filters website agrees.
Only one place remains open for our summer Yosemite high country expedition. It's a journey to loop the high camps that you'll remember for a lifetime! C' mon with us!
