I’ve been posting a lot of black and white photographs recently. Not sure what is going on, but a lot of images recently have seemed more appropriate/effective in monochrome. We’ll see where this leads… :-)

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.

photo.net ratings can be quite bizarre. They use a 7 point scale where 1 is basically abominable and 7 is outstanding. Every so often I see a set of ratings that make no sense at all. For example, an inverse bell curve… ;-)
