This was a fun one to put together. It shows the Madison River a few miles inside
the west park entrance at sunrise.
It was already smokey from a lightning-strike fire plus it was early enough
in the morning that there was still alot of mist rising from the river. I
decided to exagerate that by using the Finney pinhole attachement for my camera.
To get the sun exposed right I used the image-stacking ability of Photoshop CS2
which allows multiple exposures to be combined into a 32-bpp image. Since the
colors were already weak I converted the image to a B&W sepia-tone.
Other than the image stacking there was very little manipulation. The sun's rays
are an apparent artifact of the pinhole. I did nothing to emphasize them.
