This morning I posted a photograph from last weekend’s trip to Yosemite Valley, “Evening Rain, Yosemite Valley.” This is a tough image for me to work with. It is hard to resist the temptation to pump up the contrast and overdo the dodging and burning in order to get a more dynamic image – but that wouldn’t be very faithful to the very quiet and misty atmosphere of that evening.
I think there is still more work to be done on this one.
