I can see exactly why you've recommended Galen Rowell so many times - they are very good examples of his 'school', so to speak. REPLY: I've learned from Galen Rowell to chase the light. Only two of the images are "found" images - the insect and the Redwing. The rest are all previsualized to a larger or lesser extent. Theres no coincidence that I happened to be on mountaintops when the fog comes in at midnight! The red fox is the 12th attempt of photographing this animal! Of 20 trips to its den only about 50% of the times did it show up at all (often after 3 hours waiting). I only got two good pictures of it. The last picture of the aurora I had framed the scene and waited for 4 hours before something happened at the sky above the mountain. The mountain is lit by the full moon. The intense colours is more a function of light than the film. In fact, six of the images is not shot on Velvia at all; they are shot on Kodachrome 25, Ektachrome 100, Fujichrome Provia 100F and Fujichrome 400F (at 800ISO). My bet is that the viewer cannot tell which is which. And no, I haven't boosted saturation in photoshop.
