[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As you can see, I took this image for the line quality that the wetter soils of past centuries have given us. The red bands are from a wetter climate than the yellow as ash deposits began to break apart and create differing soils during the Eocene Epoch. Many were drastically covered over between 10,000 and 200,000 years apart after settling before another major volcanic event took place in and around the Clarno Volcanic Region.
The workshop has another view of the Antelope running for cover.

Hello Steven,
The sharpness and warm color variation in the soil are beautiful against the clear aqua sky. Lighting in the picture is good. Your note is interesting and informative. Excellent work!
Warm wishes,
Betty

Hi Steve,
Another one of your beautiful painted hills pictures. Great colors, texture and sharpness. Glad to see you've been posting again too. :)
All the best,
Claire

Steven,
I'm really baffled by the low technical quality of your TE posts - even more baffled that no-one seems to mention it much!

Given your equipment, I'm sure the original files are fine - and you've certainly got an eye for a shot, but the on-screen results are probably some of the lowest quality I've seen on this site.

More of a question than a critique. What's going on?

Best regards
Colin

The colors and lines of this place are really special... better than the Painted Desert National Park in my opinion.

Steve,
I absolutely love that frame leaving just the graphical impression of the hill and the foreground against the other one in the background. I did similar shot with a higher POV, but none got such a good graphical effect as you did here.
When are we going back to have another session like we did have almost 2 months ago? Winter would be an interesting season ...
The WS? We need to get a real 400m focal lenght to get these animals closer!

Your images depicting the colours and patterns of the hills and soils in Oregon is tempting me to put it on to My list of places to photograph before I ....!!!! Stunning!!!
Regards Colin
