This image was created with the Canon 70-200 f\/2.8 L IS II (at 145mm) with the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400 in pre-dawn light. From a 3-frame bracket +\/- 1 stop around +1 stop: 1\/8 sec at f\/22. Tripod-mounted (3530 LS). Giotto’s tiny ballhead (MH 1302)and bubble level. With the Giotto’s ballhead I can switch from a short wide angle zoom with a P-5 plate on the camera body to the 70-200 f\/2.8 with a P-20 plate on the tripod collar. Just like I do in Bosque. It takes 3 seconds to spin off the Mongoose and put on the tiny ballhead. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Which “Angel’s Veil” Do You Like Better and Why?<\/h2>\n

I named this small beautiful section of the Lower Terrace at Mammoth Falls “Angel’s Veil.” Each image here was created with NIK’s new HDR Efex Pro from a series of three bracketed images. I will be talking lots more about this great new plug-in the coming days and weeks. <\/p>\n

The question for today is which do you like better, the image above with the tiny tree in the lower left corner, or the version below without it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I used my “Divide and Conquer” Clone Stamp Tool techniques along with a few Quick Masks to eliminate the ranches of the tiny dead tree, all as described in detail in the Digital Basics<\/a> PDF along with dozens of other great tips and the complete BAA digital workflow. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
