Derrill's posted images are a testimony to his great craftsmanship, affection for the mountains and his visual culture - using not the very best & foolishly expensive gear available today, but just the necessary - in a creative but not obtrusive way - at the right moment - at the chosen spots of stunning beauty - and the most realized with great, artistic and pleasant results. This is a landscape style reminding of late Galen Rowell. Darrell fashions perfect tones, contrast and exposure. Many things indeed that could have been testimony to a somewhat aged but still mighty Canon machine from 2013, but too: Exquisite composition. Love for nature. Nice and consequent title and description policy. Great editing skills: photoshoped with measure and taste, just once in a while a little overdone skies and exaggerated blacks for my taste. Derrill offers a good example of how to make and use your signature/watermark, not in a showy but in a civilized and discreet manner. A joy to watch in standard mode, let alone blown up. Highly recommended: Full Screen over your desktop monitor! But don't forget to read the descriptions too.
