Flying through Ansels's zone system at speed is very worrying. I'm concerned that the tone pixels may not be captured and Cat will banish my picy to Rod's favorite part of the universe --- Pending! Does Ansel give extra points for pixels moving at warp speed? - Denny

The helicopter is flying right through the zone system in action. -COAmature
This is great for a point and shoot!! Wonderful! And yes it makes the zone system, I see the good distribution. You could even put the black a lil further and recover some of the textures lost in the bright dust. That will just enhance it even further!

Hi Rod, thanks for setting me straight. I appreciate all the help I can get. I think I finally got it. Let me know if Im on the right track: Im already packing my backpack for a true Ansel experience: Three six-packs ought to do it, dont you think? --- And maybe a Power Bar, just for a kicker half way up the mountain. And for good measure, Ill toss the dSLR in a holster case instead of being a wuss and carrying a P&S. Ill also leave earlier, just to get a true Ansel three-day experience. Im wondering if youll be so kind as to tote the tripod for me. I promise Ill wait for ya at the top --- and for the perfect light --- and Ill save ya some brew, too. Just kidding, mate! BTW, I did wait for the perfect light with this snapshot --- an entire five or six seconds. The copter gave no warning that it was on final approach. And to be truthful, it wasnt so much a quickie grab shot as it was a machine gun approach. I fired off four or five shots in one quick sequence; that way, I thought I would end up with a photographic essay of the landing and departure. After all, itd be a good reminder for me not to do anything stupid, like watching the ladies while climbing, and end up being heloed off the mountain. That would be embarrassing --- and costly. Anyway mate, keep the tips flowing because its a challenge keeping up with your futuristic --- and ahrtiiiiiiisty --- picys. Remember, your Aussie pixels and photons are 17 hours head of mine in the hot Sonoran. Cheers!

Excellent picy for a news photographer Denny mate but for an Ansel picy you will need a big heavy backpack full of gear & hike three days to get to the subject. After going to all that trouble like Ansel you would then set up your camera & wait for the perfect light & not indulge in grab shots:-)
