Fallen Tree #3

A fallen tree is mostly reclaimed by the landscape.  Only a section of trunk remains.  The warm print tone is very close to Afga Portriga Rapid.
Technical: Nikon D700, AF Nikkor 24-85mm f2.8-f4, ISO 200, 56mm @ f/8.0 @ 1/160s.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.5, then edited in Nik Silver Efex Pro using the "Warm Tone" style and Ilford Pan F 50 film setting.

Meramec River - Castlewood Park

Infrared view of the Meramec River from the big hill at Castlewood Park.  Nikon D700, Nikkor AF 24-85mm f2.8-4 IF, ISO 200, Cokin P007 infrared filter, 28mm @ f/8.0 @ 1/400s, monochrome capture.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2 to make minor exposure and contrast adjustments.

Cloud Formation - APR-S Version

This is a sepia update to an earlier post.  As I was preparing to make a print, it seemed to benefit from the sepia conversion, opening up the tones and giving a more airy feel.  Nikon D100, Nikkor AF 180mm f2.8 ED-IF "Leni Lens", ISO 200, f/8.0 @ 1/3200s.  RAW file processed in Lightroom 2 to crop and tone conversion by first converting to monochrome, then using the split tone to add color to taste to the shadows.  The tone reminds me of one of my favourite conventional combinations, Agfa Portriga Rapid with a light selenium toner to cool it a tad.

Meramec Valley - Castlewood Park

Meramec Valley from the big hill in Castlewood Park. On a clear day, it is worth the hike for the veiw. Nikon D700, Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-f/4.0, ISO 200, 35mm @ f/8.0 @ 1/4000s, handheld. RAW file processed in Lightroom 2 using the Nikon D700 Landscape preset, otherwise this is straight out of the camea.
