Kodak DCS Pro SLR/n, Nikkor 180mm f/2.8 ED Ai-S.
 

I made this shot of Blue Pixel founder and managing partner Kevin Gilbert during my recent trip to Moab.

I had set up a shot of the tracks and landscape with my tripod nearly at ground level, compressing distance using the 180mm lens, which is a moderate telephoto on the full-frame Kodak DCS digital body. By using a tobacco-colored graduated neutral density filter, I gave the scene some drama and helped pull back what otherwise would have been an overly-bright sky.

After I got my "stock images," Kevin couldn't resist having a little fun, so we designed this shot with him laying on the tracks. Sometimes after a long day's location shoot this is exactly how you feel!
