It’s probably just me, but I love things draped in winter. This highway maintenance office probably never looked better.

This one works, like wow! Look at those clouds come to life!
I really love the subtleties that come to life in the foreground, the little hints of definition to the snow really works for me.

This one failed, the sky looks like Tonal Contrast over applied!

Here’s the straight image, you can see what I mean about the sky.

The difference between the two images? The amount of gray sky in the photograph. There’s your next hint. Yeah, I’ll tell you what I’m doing at the end of the week and will post a video on it next week. Hey, I’m stuck in the room doing boring business between posts. I’ve got have some fun some way :-)

I’m So Excited!
Yeap, the light was just that suckie as Old Faithful blew. I put myself in the best possible place but gray steam against gray skies in gray light, was there really a prayer? On the way to Old Faithful I thought about something I learned in post and thought that just maybe, maybe there would be a way to beat this kinda typical scenario. Well, as you can see, I was able to pull out the detail in the steam and with absolutely no pixels were harmed and no brain cells used.
How’d I do it? I taught all my folks with me this week how and it’s not in the B&W conversion, that’s just icing on the cake. Nope, if you want to learn how, you’ll just have to tune in all week as I drop a hint here and there. I’m so excited!

Shooting the 16Fish
I’m a little behind in getting this video out, OK, I’m four months behind but at least I didn’t forget. The 16Fish is such a damn fun lens to shoot that I’m surprised when at times it can be the only tool to make the shot. For example, making this shot from the backseat of the T6 was only possible with the 16Fish.

It’s 180 degrees uncorrected coverage is just amazing! You might think such a lens more gimmick then tool, but it’s gorgeously sharp. One of more common uses of the 16Fish is for the landscape. This is a great lens for that purpose. With that in mind, here’s a little video on using the 16Fish.
