Hey Everyone,

James,

This spot is one of my favorites at Grand Tetons. I have a sunset picture from this spot but I never got a sunrise pic.

Since I'm really unencumbered by what the real life sunrise actually looked like, my version is the sunrise I would have liked to have seen. I like the composition here with the dark foreground and line of trees drawing you in to the sunlit trees and Mt Moran. As a technical point I did the PP on this with the program Nikon CaptureNX. As you may or may not know this is Nikon's raw converter program but I was interested in applying the very unique "control point" technology that this program uses on a non-Nikon RAW image. I converted the CR2 file to a TIF using ACR and then loaded it into NX. I am really taken with the control points which allow local control of locations in the entire image. Overall I'm pleased with the results most times and it sure cuts down on the old blending and masking techniques I usually use. Anyway, here is the result.

BTW: James you really need to clean your sensor.


Some of my best
