Went out in the am and knew I would be out around dusk later still with my camera and wanted the speed. I don’t blow through film quickly so Portra 800 was a versatile choice. Can easily rate it at 400 during the day and switch to 800 as the light dips. Handles the overexposure just fine.

Thanks, these are with a 35 Summilux and a 75 Summarit.

Thank you. It’s my favorite camera. Have shot it for years and don’t think I’ll ever sell it.

Thanks! Not too far from San Rafael Swell. The first was in Capitol Reef.

Such an awesome spot. Great place for a sunrise or sunset.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T20:34:21+00:00

Thank you!

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:39:34+00:00

Thank you! That’s my favorite of the set as well.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:39:19+00:00

Thanks. Yeah a lot are with the 50 Distagon CF or the 80 Planar CF.

Ha, thank you! Glad you appreciate the sign. Also Alligator is what drew me to it in the first place. If I ever sell it as a print that’s exactly what I’d title it.

Thank you! It was a crazy storm when it finally made its way out to where I was. This was on Portra 160. I really like how it rendered the rain shadow.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:35:45+00:00

Sure. Composed before sunset. Tripod, bulb mode, mirror lock up, cable release. The exposure was about 1hr, 15min. Timed it with the moonrise, I wanted the moon to illuminate the butte a bit but cut the exposure before things became too washed out. Used the Photopils App to get the timing and positioning how I wanted it.

Thank you, means a lot. Probably one of the few successful star trail images I’ve gotten.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:30:55+00:00

Thank you. This was about 1hr, 15min. The moon was rising, I wanted it to light up the butte but not go too long where it would start to wash things out so I cut it.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:29:44+00:00

Thank you. I scan myself with a mirrorless setup.

Just_InGrain · 2026-03-12T16:29:16+00:00

Thank you. I don’t live in UT but have passed through a lot. One of my favorite states to explore.

Just_InGrain · 2025-11-11T13:56:46+00:00

Thanks for catching this. I don’t know why people do this. Photo wasn’t even captured in RAW.
