Thanks Sonja and David. Thanks David for having these contests and highlighting peoples work. This was a once in a lifetime shot. It's actually a 53 second exposure with a 4x5. Was supposed to be 45 seconds but instinct told me to tack a few on. The weird thing is that these boulders are no longer visible. I suspect they sank into the "much" of the creek. I almost gave up on this night and started walking the 1/2 mile back to the car, but had made that mistake many times before and reminded myself of those. The color actually lasted a few minutes.

Beautiful sunset shot. Color and exposure are outstanding. Interesting to read about the technique. It would still have been a great shot, even if you had used Photoshop. Photoshop won't save a bad shot. You still have to have skill to get a good shot. Congrats!

WOW!!! Outstanding shot!!! This is one of the many reasons I hate to see the eventual demise of film. Congrats on your sale.

Ray Mathis replied:

Thanks Tim. It was a nice surprise when I got the 4x5 transparency back from the lab. Had to wait 2 weeks to find out if I did it right

Phenomenal work Ray! Love the fact you used a 4x5 camera and the Cokin filters to achieve this effect (and not a computer). I have been meaning to play around with my set a little more. Congrats on your well deserved sale. Just magnificent :) Fav/Like

Ray Mathis replied:

Thanks Luke. I have always liked doing it the old fashion way, but I have to admit I really like the new D800 I recently got. It really allows me to get . shots that were difficult with 4x5 before
