Dug up this Velvia from '93 and reworked it. This scan was from 1999 and apparently I've gotten better in the meantime.
The lightning was completely by chance as the shutter speed was either 1/8th or 1/4 second and I had no idea it was in the frame until the film was processed. Mamiya RZ, Velvia 50 shot at Chaco Canyon National Historic Monument, one of my favorite places anywhere.
I've been revisiting a lot of older film images, especially the musicians, many of which never saw the light of day and am more than pleasantly surprised reworking them. Now I have to go and re-scan this one at full res, and then try and figure out what the hell I did to get back to this result. I've been posting the music stuff to FB and the response there has been crazy and even sold what I considered to be not a first rate image of Chris Hillman during a video shoot thirty years ago for inclusion in his new memoir about his life in music. Not enough to retire on but at least I get a free book as well.

Peter I think that is one of the only (few?) houses that is on the ocean side of Scenic Drive.
Spectacular. Also climbing on those rocks and checking out the tide pools is a lot of fun!
You're making me want to go home. My dad used to take me by that house all the time when I was a kid. There's also a house right across the street from the Carmel Mission that has a genuine English thatched roof on it. Well it did back then. And then just before the FLW house you shot there's a stone house on the other side of the rode where Robinson Jeffers lived and wrote. And while I'm at it, the old quartermaster's quarters in old town Monterey was occupied from 1847-49 by one Wm Tecumseh Sherman. There. Your short Monterey history lesson for the day.

Is that the one that looks like something from Harry Potter? That it should be on a Scottish moor?
Huss - If it's the one roughly across the street from the mission, then yes. There may be others I'm not aware of but that's the one I remember from when I was a kid.
