A couple
days ago we posted images that Sandy took while
we were in Moab Sandy
enjoys seeing the smaller things; of course that can be difficult when you have
the grand vistas of Moab

Color
photography is the norm in Moab while black and white can often depict the
beauty as well. And then there's
infrared. I've found that IR photography
works well in bright light and the heat of the day; something that can be
lacking in December when the temperatures range from -15 degrees to a balmy 30.
That said, I attempted to see what I could get away with shooting in the 590nm
range and came away pleased.

This trip
was my first chance to put the 80 megapixel Phase One IQ 180 to work that I
just upgraded to. The medium format
samples shown here are a combination of using the IQ180 on a Phase One DF and
Cambo WRS technical camera. There are single shots as well as a panorama with the WRS using a combination of lenses. The widest medium format lens used was the
Hartblie 45mm while I used the new Sony FE16-35.

Like all
of our previous processing, the files were first opened in Capture One Pro
where they were evaluated, lens correction applied and light processing before
being saved in a Tiff format and sent to Photoshop CC for further processing. Once in PS-CC the image was opened where
further processing was done according to the image needs using either a
infrared processing and/or a combination of Nik Software filters, then resized
and saved as a Jpeg for web use. In the
end, some images took little to no additional processing while others took
more.

We spent the last morning at Arches where we were greeted with a mixture of low clouds, rain, snow and fog. Perfect weather!

We ended
up acting like two kids in a candy store as everywhere we looked it looked
great in the fog.
I wanted to visit Delicate Arch during our brief stay however there simple wasn't
enough time for us to take the hike out to it.
So we did the next best thing and went out to the overlook which is
approximately 1/2 mile from the arch itself.
This turned out to be a perfect time to test the effectiveness of a
80-megapixel digital back; it's too bad I only had a 150mm lens with me and not
the 240 LS Phase. Still, it shows me
that if I do everything correctly (not shoot handheld like the sample) I should
be able to capture great images.

& I agree that this is a much better way of presenting what we as
individuals saw while in Moab
and plan on doing the same with our next location, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon .

I hope
you enjoyed this as much as I did putting it together and will continue to
visit as we share photographic locations and talk about the cameras we use.
