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

Artist's Description

People often assume this photo was "photoshopped" in some way. It's actually a 45 second exposure, which I added 8 seconds to before I closed the shutter on my 4x5 field camera. I did that because the light seemed to be waning. The only "manipulation", if you want to call it that, is using a Cokin graduated gray filters, G1 (1 stop) and G2 (2 stops), which means a total of 3 stops, because the top of a scene like this usually meters 3 stops brighter than the reflection of the same spot in the water in the foreground. But using those filters is just a way to compensate for the limited light range of the film. I've been told color transparency film has a range of 5 EV's, while our eyes have a range of something like 130 EV's. Without these "sunglass" filters on the top portion of this scene, everything in the foreground would be nearly black. (Even though the white ice and snow would help some) The clouds were moving, and the water was actually NOT totally calm. The moving clouds a...

About Ray Mathis

I started out shooting the "old fashioned way" with a 4x5" field camera and by creating color transparencies. I then scanned them at either 1200 or 2400 dpi. Every effort is made to match the original transparency. That said, there was a time when I developed cataracts, and scanning and preparing images for this website became difficult. Now that I've had surgery and can see clearly again, some of the images seem a bit too saturated in color. That's because cataracts mute colors. It's like looking through window covered with a film of grime and dirt. The challenge and reward in 4x5" landscape photography is to capture things as they really are, and get the exposure just right. And at over $6 a shot, it pays to be very selective. ...
