About this image: this is not a new place, but it is one I do not see good work produced from very often. I think mainly due to some difficult distracting elements that people have had a hard time figuring how to get out of their shot. By doing 3 things here I was able to overcome the difficulties:
1. Focus Stack of 8 images with the Canon 11-24@11mm (sharp and new perspective).
2. Use an innovative way to do a very low Perspective Blend in Photoshop, to overcome some of the obstacles.
3. A lot of distracting element clean up.
This was shot mid day, so actually I did not (at all) expect good results, but that powerful orange saturation got my attention and is coming from the strong reflective light, much like how slot canyons react well on sunny days. So, when I pulled the series up the other day, I was almost shocked.
In processing, all tonal and color adjustments are conservative and no "Highlight Glow" or other effects were used.
I hope you enjoy the image, and Great Light to you!
Enjoy the Fall out there and be safe!
