It's a nice shot, just saying he went way overboard with the post processing.
F*#k man, Snowy just can't catch a break.

The image of Matthes is color corrected only. No grading.
The cathedral image is not post-saturated at all- it is an HDR image- 3 frames merged at +/-2 ev in SNS Pro, and then white balance corrected in Lightroom. No further grading.
For the resulting 600 frame timelapse that came out of the 1800 images I did use software to smooth exposure changes.
How's that for spray!
Edit: LOL seriously bAD- are there special birthing helmets???? Aaagh!
Edit: Many thanks elcap, I'm super psyched

snowhazed - do we know each other? Based on the context you could be one of several guys I know at the moment. Oakland / 3rd classer / first kid in the oven.

SnowH. I had no problem with the OP and in fact was glad you made public note of the loose flake. These day runs in that area are often used for training and with all the traffic they get any current data is generally usefull.
The cathedral image is not post-saturated at all- it is an HDR image- 3 frames merged at +/-2 ev in SNS Pro, and then white balance corrected in Lightroom. No further grading.
I've always found I could not capture what I saw in the mountains on camera. Only on the really rare exception. The Cathedral image came out very nice. That is basically a signal stacking technique which I did not know they had available (because I've not been paying attention) and that would explain the color saturation (so those ARE owl clover). Pretty cool. I'll have to see if that technique will help with my shitty cell shots.

Damn. I gotta learn how to do that "stackin'" thing. That Cathedral pic just makes my day.

Stevee B- maybe? I split my gym time between oakland and berk
here's another hdr for fun, this one I did alter the orange hue and luminance, and the magenta luminance. Also noise reduction as the dark frame during sunset or sunrise imparts noise during the merge

heres a non hdr photo of same scene- it was blowing up that night
not only does it depend on the monitor, but it also depends on all of the cones in your eyeball, and beyond that the black box of subjective phenomena.....

Lembert Dome is the baddest kind of flake,
the reason Half Dome left Yosemite.
A lot of bad history there,
don't ask.

HDR is in the eye of the beholder. I like your Cathedral shot.

1. Fantastic thread
2. I love spray. Spray is the drunk uncle of stoke, and we all love stoke. And those that say they hate it are lying to themselves and desire credit for not doing it........which is a form of, you guessed it, spray. Hinting that you are above spray is an obvious form of spray. Busted!
3. The fact that Snowhazed had also linked the full crest with Hobbit Book that day and chose not to mention such a rad send shows his constraint, making his spray more of a drip than anything and should be applauded.
4. This thread needs more photos. I love Matthes Crest and spray about our fully roped up, fully pitched out send of it as often as conversation allows.

I had fun when I did the Crest, but I was coming down with the flu even as I led the first pitch. I got sicker and sicker. Leading a steep corner up the last tower (we didn't do the full thing) felt more like 5.10 than the 5.6 or 5.7 it was. We rapped and staggered back to camp. The hike out was fun, too. Ugh.

Awesome thread. From loose flakes to family danger to spray name-dropping to photo critiquing!
Good thing no photos of Shakira have ever been altered!!

Most everyone wants to be recognized, or at least esteemed for their accomplishments. Par human nature, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes our natural instincts overreach and we demand more than our fair share of attention. Who's not guilty of that on occasion?

I wish people would stop using the word "spray" as a derogatory term. I want everyone to spray, that's where the stories and entertainment and eventual history come from.
Spray on everyone, forget those "quiet crushers" that people esteem so highly!
