First Post: Denali scenery

Hi all, after viewing your great images and reading your sensible comments for a while, I thought it was about time to post an image myself. Shot was taken in Alaska back in 1998. Camera used was a Canon A1 and the film used was Velvia 50. Sorry, can't remember any exposure times etc. Pls let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Frank

Welcome to PR.com Frank.
Great image, It seems a little dark but it works. Especially with the rainbow.
I hope to see more of your stuff, especially some more recent photographs.

A nice scene here. As mentioned, it is a bit (1/2 stop?) dark. It is also soft, though I can't tell if that is due to the compression. I also think that it could be cropped into a pano to make it a stronger image as there isn't much foreground interest here, and getting rid of the top layer of clouds won't hurt it, either.

I like the lighting on the mountain on the right, and the rainbow on the left is a definite bonus. Now, if only you could replace that bus with a grizzly! :D

Thanks for the feedback. It indeed shows darker than I expected. The original is brighter. I will look for some more recent material to post here.
Cheers,
Frank

This is a very nice shot. I also think maybe a bit dark, but it works. Maybe tweak some highlights out of it like around the colored areas of the mountain . . I like it as is though.

Agree with the half stop underexposed verdict, and also, I would have zoomed in at least another 15mm or so... just crouch down a bit, zoom in and you will have removed a lot of the uninteresting foreground and really focus the composition on the road / mountains and sky.
