    I caught your article in Pop Photo this week and it was great. I tried finding the Pantone Warm Gray but couldn’t seem to locate it. How do you find your pantone colors?

    I thought that Bret got me a subscription to Pop Photo, but I only got one issue. The photograph is awesome as is the sepia tone. Add a little scratches and rough edges and it could have been done in the 1880s.

    Thanks guys!
    Ed, after you click on “Color Libraries”, simply start typing “warm g” (with the space). You should see the swatches changing as you type. The trick is to type pretty fast and not pause between characters.

    Hey Guy

    Congrats – wish I had the opportunity to read it .. I’ve been converting a few to B&W lately, and it’s just a stab in the dark for me .. surprise, surprise. Will it be on their site, I don’t get the magazine.

    Cheers

    Magnificent result.
    A real joy to watch the photo, how that mountain (?) makes the clouds give it way.
    Splendid result.

    I saw your photo and article on Popular Photo Mag this morning.
    I am wondering why do you use 1/6 @ f22 instead of for example f/11?
    Is f/22 for a deepest DOF? My experience with f/22 is that photo is not sharp at f/22. Thanks!

    I actually used f/22 and a polarizer hoping to capture some movement in the clouds and smooth patterns on the water. Not sure it actually made a big difference here, though. If I had to do it over I would probably have captured 2-3 frames at a larger aperture and varying focus distances so I could stack them for maximum DOF and sharpness.
