Pad Fest Tour 2006 – Looking Back at Day 5

Western Colorado

As you recall, I'm doing a retrospective all this week. On day 5 we traveled past the Black Canyon of the Gunnison to Marble and then into Glenwood Springs.

I don’t know the name of this mountain, and I love the view. It is a major “rework” in Photoshop from the original (See bottom image).

Everything we saw on this day was new to me, so in many ways it remains my favorite of the trip. We had plenty of time to relax over lunch (see below), do more off-roading, and shooting a multitude of locales.

My slideshow for the day.

You did such a good job bringing out the detail in this shot. It is exquisite. I think I would also like to see it with a bit more red in the midtones or maybe even the shadows. I am not saying it would be better, I would just like to see it.

Nice sky or is the cloud the smoke from the cigar? ;o)

Good work on that sky, Robin.

The blue sky really adds to the photo. Nice processing.

It certainly was worth the travel for the view !! Of course the company too :>)

Great shot!

David ... a combination of levels, curves, and contrast (and in this case replacing the sky with blue). Do you have CS2?

Yes, yes... that is that extra PUNCH in your shots that I was talking about yesterday.
This rework brought out great detail and the whispy cloud against the blue sky.
All the shots in the slideshow had this punch. This is a week well spent.
Now, teach me to get that punch in my shots.

Awesome shot !!! Gunnison and the surrounding area is a beautiful place, as is either way to get there.

Great slideshow Robin, I do like the redo on the mountain, I wish I always had the time to wait for the right light or sky.
Guest 16-Aug-2006 16:13
Great rework--adds dimension.

Terrific view and shot.
I remember our parents taking the family to see the deep Gunnison canyon.
