Yellowstone Adv – The Skies Open Up

After a picnic lunch at one of the best spots on the planet to have a picnic, we headed back down the road. We came around the corner when the skies opened up. It wasn’t for long, but long enough to make some really gorgeous clicks of a gorgeous winter landscape.

Now with the one frame success from the previous day with this new processing thought, I had to play with it more today. I found some images that didn’t work so well. I found a couple others that I was kind of impressed by. This is one of them. Above is the after, below is the before.

The extra drama in the clouds is what I’m liken and what I’ll keep focusing in on. Those who follow me on Twitter got this additional hints tonight: 1 camera, 1 lens, 1 click, no in camera or software filters and handheld. More to come
