JMT 2005

Great photos. Been to many of the same places and the photos do them justice. Both Glen and Forester in one day? Wow.

Great pics, anyone of these could become a postcard :-)

Bob,

Nice Pix’s

What camera / lens did you use?
filters? film/digital?

Roger

Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures. Roger – The Camera was a Ricoh GR1v. It has a fixed focus 28mm lens. It is a film camera and is no longer made, although Ricoh just released the Ricoh GR Digital which Ryan is going to be reviewing soon. I didn’t use any filters. The film was Fuji Velvia 100. It’s very saturated slide film.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

I think that first photo should be labeled “Liberty Cap,” not “Half Dome.”

Bob,

Amazing saturation without filters!

You gota love the JMT it’s a photographer’s paradise the only problem is I never seemed to bring enough film. On my last trip I found myself painfully rationing every last exposure on my roll.

Despite the weight penalty I still prefer my SLR to a Rangefinder because of the options (Lens Filters and a more creative control).

Thanks Again for sharing your Pictures,

Agree, very good technique, using the right tools. Looking at these shots makes me want to go hiking, stat!

Me still likey film! I’ve settled on 1×36-exp roll/day +1 as my film budget. Most of the time it’s enough. I mostly use a Contax T3, which offers very good contrast, saturation and flare control, and only carry the big guns on dayhikes and some overnights.
