Lamar Valley

July 22, 2015

It is no surprise that I stopped for this painterly light in the Northeast corner of Yellowstone. Warm and varying lighting, broad vistas, and a sense of the transition between seasons all come together here. The shadows required a good deal of care here in general (the scene was very contrasty, and my eye saw into the dark areas more deeply than the camera's initial rendition did), and that care needs to be doubled when making a print, leaving in important detail while not entirely leaving out a sense of chiaroscuro.

Because of the scale, pulling this up large is probably a good idea.
