Litchfield, ConnecticutSupplemental:
Litchfield, Connecticut, 9/27/09I'd planned to shoot at a street fair in Torrington today, but it was rainy and cold so the event was canceled. Fall is rolling in too, and while I was out I got this view at White's Memorial Reserve, shot from exactly the same spot as this morning's post, made last July.

Oooh, that's definitely one for your spa customers. How does it look when printed large? The web version in unmanaged Firefox has deep shadows. Will the print supply details?

Scott, in fact I haven't printed it. The water at the lower right corner has no detail, but the other dark tones--grass lower left, tree reflection center right, opposite bank of the creek--have enough there to print with separation. It's only the diffusion effect of the morning mist that brought the contrast anywhere near the sensor's ability, and the raw file needs a lot of Recovery and Fill Light in ACR to get to this point. A film negative properly exposed for the shadows would have had very dense highlights.
That mist also the the detail from being really crisp, which might mean that a big, 'impressionistic' 24-inch wide print for over the sofa would be quite pleasing.
Pretty... I think this was appraised on Antiques Roadshow the other week at $40,000.
David, send them right on over.
An archetypal dreamscape, beyond landscape. But 40.000 is, well, beyond my reach unfortunately...
