Nice shots, Jim. Good eye. What are you shooting with? I had to laugh when I saw the labels on some of the images. It looks like the Great Salt Lake has gotten considerably larger. wink.gif

Thanks. Yeah, I got lazy with renaming files during export from Lightroom pretty quickly. I was mostly keeping up with post processing on my laptop while on the road, often way to late in the evening for my own good. But I think the immediate feedback on how I was doing was super helpful toward iterating on my approach. Was usually bleary eyed by the time I hit the export-with-previous step... I used a nikon d800 with a few different zooms. A 17-35, a 24-70, and a 70-200. And a tripod for everything around sunrise and sunset.

Nice shots Joker, looks like you did a grand tour of many of my favorite haunts. I didn't get down there in 2015, but hopefully will be back this fall to do some hiking in the Escalante and beyond.

Thanks, Jim. I meant to look you up to pick your brain before this trip, but time beforehand conspired against it (all I managed was to talk briefly with Eric R about doing so :-)). But I'll be going back for sure, and would still love to talk with you sometime about places you like, etc. I blew past the Escalante on my way to and from other places, but noted to myself that I must return and spend some quality time in its various corners - looks like you could spend a whole trip on Hole in the Rock Road alone!

Nice capture! A couple more sunset photos from last May. One is a re-do of one of the ones I posted upthread, and another is one I hadn't messed with until now. Both are 2 exposures combined - one shot exposed for the sky and one for the land. I think I'm starting to get the hang of manually combining in this way, at least for relatively simple cases like these...

Here are a few cityscape sunset photos from the past couple of weeks, at two of the most "classic" Seattle cityscape viewpoints:

I got to witness a pretty special sunrise up on West Granite Mountain today. I'll post more in a TR later.

Love those last two. Here's one from early January at Second Beach. Gotta get back out to the beaches in some of our upcoming mix of sun/clouds!

Nice one Jim up.gif I assume you blended exposures somehow. Were you wearing rubber boots? - looks like your feet got wet on that one.

Thanks - and yes, I manually blended three exposures, using a mix of hand-created masks (gradient fill and painting on the mask) for most of the sky and some of the water as well as a "luminosity mask" with a bit of painting (this was for the area right around the sun, to retain detail with a fairly dark exposure of this scene). I also blended some bits into the water portion of the foreground to get the right combo of elements for the composition I was wanting. It was kind of a learning exercise for applying some techniques I'd learned from some of Sean Bagshaw's video tutorial content (Greg Benz has some simpler versions of the same ideas on YouTube) on exposure blending. I was just wearing regular hiking boots, though they're reasonably waterproof. I think the water never rose higher than an inch or two on my boots. Whereas getting this shot nearly breached the cuffs of my boots:
