In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly. It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars... Update 9/12 : Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
LOVE the comp here (Bodie, right?) Why didn't I think of it when I was there! I just "shot the wheel"
ReplyDeleteWaow ! Beautiful picture ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Christian, This is a giant wheel form the gold mines of Bodie, America's best-preserved ghost town from the late 1800s when the American West was still a frontier. At one time the mining camp of Bodie grew to have the second largest population in California, behind only San Francisco!
ReplyDeleteNice illustration of Hyperfocal Distance
ReplyDeleteJaime, Yes, hyperfocal distance is my friend... my lenses spend a lot of time in manual focus mode.
