October. Yosemite, CA, eastern Sierras, unknown lake near Tioga Pass. Possibly Ellery Lake. Traces of warm sunset grace the mountaintop.

Excellent work Doug!
 
Very nicely composed Colton !

Thank you Pan.

One more from that same roll of Ektar from April 2015...
This one gave me a really hard time with color balance. I think it's still not quite right, but I would need to rescan it to get better...

Another from April 2015... same camera, different film...

If you're wondering about why I keep sharing older photos, I can't shoot new photos anymore so I have been going through my archives and looking for photos I forgot about or didn't have the skills to color balance properly.
This particular photo, I tried 3 or 4 times back in 2015 to get the colors right and I wasn't happy with any of them. This morning I pulled up the original unedited scan, and I think I got it right.

These will be matted side by side for comic relief. I am hanging a new set of photos at the gallery, mostly variations on the ever-timely theme Black Lives Matter, and these didn’t quite make the cut. They were shot as 6x7 in a GF670, but cropped for 8x10 framing.
 
Also wonderful.

It strikes me, in this image and in Derek’s above, that photography has a special genius for depicting subtle dramas of water, and the water cycle, in the ways it interacts with things that are more fixed and static: the scrim of fog before the background trees in Pan’s image of figures on a hill, and the hurlyburly of river water striking the rock.
