Re: [APML] OT: B&W landscapes

["Chris Cook" <ccook@cape.com>]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Rob - Thank you.  Lighting is everything.  As I'm sure you've experienced,
you can have a scene taken under poor lighting and it'll look like crap, you
shoot it when the lighting is just right and the scene can just come alive
and have a totally different look and feel.  A classic example of this is
the glowing beach grass image.  All afternoon was heavily overcast and just
plain dull.  I waited around for about 1 1/2 hours in my truck until the sun
broke through a clearing on the western horizon.  It only lasted about 4
minutes before it set but when old Ra finally came out..... wow!.....its
warm glow just made the shot.

Scott - Darn, I was hoping someone wouldn't notice.  :-')
