The images posted here are samples of the work Sandy & I were able to accomplish while in the Comb Ridge area of Bluff Utah last week. I hadn't intended to post a blog on this however while selecting and processing images for a Comb Ridge Blog this morning I decided to show what these two cameras can do in low light, shadows, slow shutter speeds, high ISO, and hand-held.

I've been fascinated with the Comb Ridge area since 2004 when I camped out there and at Valley of the Gods and this has been the first time I've been able to revisit since. I had seen several examples of petroglyphs on my first visit and wanted to revisit them on this. There's a road (of sorts) on either side of the ridge connecting Route 163 and 95. The images on this post were all taken on the west side, Comb Ridge Road . We'll discuss this area later in another entry.

The images have all be processed using a combination of Photoshop CS5 and Nik Software Silver Efex Pro.

The area where we found this rock art is small (small enough that we had to take turns shooting) and mostly in shadows thus the need for high ISO. I'll be returning here in June and have hopes of capturing this with the Cambo WRS/P45+ on that time it'll be on tripod...

I came away from this mornings processing very pleased with what the 1DsIII and M9 can do in a relatively low light environment, especially handheld. Also the more I use Silver Efex Pro the more I like what it does to our images. The majority of these images also have been treated with the High Pass filter to add a certain amount of sharpening.
The next entry will show the beautiful landscape of the area as well as include a video or two so please stay tuned.
Once again I'd like to thank you for visiting and please remember your comments and questions are always welcome.
