    Question The Three Marys - Holga....

    As I have mentioned in my blog, I have unconioussly been doing a lot of photographying of "threes". So here is another in what could be a long term project.
    I did this one on a recent trip to Springdale, which is just outside of Zion National Park, here in Utah.
    I am told they are technically within the park, but you can see them from town, especially if you are enjoying a yummy cup of coffee at "The Mean Bean".

    I'd love to hear your thoughts, concerns, criticisms, reactions, etc to this photoraph.
    Thanks!

    Re: The Three Marys - Holga....

    The blue you mannaged to pull out of that sky is really lovely. The mountains seema bit soft... but I assume that has to do with whatever your using to get the Vignetting effect. Still, I just somehow think its not quite, "there" yet.. maybe a bit more processing? I dunno.

    Hey, I think the Holga adds an interesting twist on the scene, a plus because all the western mtns have been photographed so many times. At first I was going to say crop out some of the sky, but the blue is very good here... I'd keep it.

    Re: The Three Marys - Holga....

    I like the blue and the clouds, the rock formations at the base of the mountains make the photograph for me. I am not sure how much I like this as a holga per se, interesting shot and am sure this scene must be heavily photographed, though I wonder how many plastic cameras have been there before you....?

    Nice composition and you do pull a lot of blue out of the sky with that Holga. Well done as usual.

    I know what you are saying Herriot, but that's not exactly the point of this particular photograph.
    As I have mentioned, this is part of what I haope to be a series on the number 3.
    I am sure I am the first to photograph it with a Holga!
