A couple of notes to anyone planning on shooting the sunset at GFM: 1 - The best light comes just *after* the sun has set (so you *can* stay to the end of Mark's presentation!) A couple of years ago I cut out of the Saturday evening talk to go up to the top of the mountain for sunset. There were a bunch of people with tripods up at the top parking lot. As the sun went below the horizon, all the other photographers left and 10-15 minutes after sunset, when the light was best, I was the only one up there (except for Annsan, who came with me). I got one of my favorite GFM shots ever: http://www.robertstech.com/pages/gfm_01.htm 2 - The nature museum and all the other permanent facilities on GFM are on the west side of the mountain, so the mountain itself blocks sunrise. It's difficult to get good sunrise shots unless hou hike out about 3 miles along the mountain trails and camp out for the night. (Which is what I do ever Thursday night before GFM weekend.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
