Here’s another image from my ride through Rocky Mtn NP last weekend. This one is on the way up before the rain caught up to me. There wasn’t much fall color change yet in the aspens. But this small patch stood out in the expanse. LR into PhotoFX for Adjust. Created a luminosity mask with B&W Effects. And back to LR for export.
Thank you Michael. I assume you wish I’d uploaded a larger image, i.e. more pixels. Here’s the same image exported from LR at 2000 pixels on the long side, rather than 1000 of the original.
The original image was taken with my 12-24mm zoom at 24mm. Here’s a different image I made using my 50mm prime. So it gets a little closer to the subject (and also at 2000 pixels).
I agree. I think the sky adds a lot. Unfortunately, I didn’t take another with the 50mm above the other 50mm one. Then I could have made a vertical panorama which might have been nice.
