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...
yeah that's really amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe proper exposure for the sky left the rock arch too dark, so I took a spotlight that I was carrying and used myself as a reflector, casting some diffuse light back on the arch as I walked back and forth behind the camera during the long exposure.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites of your stuff. Did you go backpacking as planned?
ReplyDeleteMichael Menefee, Since my objective was only about 4 miles in, I decided to make the hike in during the day, catch sunset, then hike out after dark. That gained me a day to work before I pickup up my kids last night. I'll probably take them backpacking in early August, then resume my more intensive backpacking schedule around August 11 or so.
ReplyDeleteGreat feeling from the streaking clouds.
