Behind the scenes

John, that is a beautiful plant and a lovely picture.

Last week I was in Utah photographing slot canyons in the Hanksville area. During the trip I learned about stemming and tent camping in the cold of winter. It got down to about 8°. Since I'm not used to those types of activities it was quite an adventure. This behind the scenes photo is about 10 steps into the canyon we explored on day 2.



…and here is the subsequent image

Gorgeous Warren!

Apropos of nothing, Hanksville, Utah, is where the international Mars Rover competition takes place each year. My daughter competed for a couple years, and last year drove the rover from Kingston, ON to Hanksville, Utah.

Thank you Rob!

There is so much surrounding Hanksville, it surprises me that it is not more popular than it is. We were going to go see the Mars Research center the morning we headed out, but didn't make it because we ran out of time. I had to read your message a couple of times, at first I thought you meant she drove the rover, lol!

Ha, yes, that wasn't well written! The rover was in the back of a Ford Excursion.

I am working on a project that captures the baseball my wife learned to play catch with. It has massive sentimental meaning for her and as she is very difficult to buy for I am going to print and frame it and give it to her as an anniversary gift this year
Here was my setup:
Shot was taken on Rollei RPX25 using a 503CX with the 120mm makro with all of the extension tubes I could find. Lighting was with a single Profoto B1500 through a Chimera soft box Film was developed in HC110 and converted with NLP. I haven't done anything to the file yet so please excuse the dust and spots!
I am really happy with what it looks like. Any feedback is gratefully accepted.

Funny. I made this shot last year. Leica S 006. S 120mm 2.5.

Since this is the Behind the scenes thread, I thought I'd post the set-up I use for this series of shots. Different subject, different camera, pretty much the same set-up though:

I think your wife is going to be delighted. I can almost feel the rough leather and stitching just from looking at the picture!
