Picture of the Day - 6/23/2010



Teton Reflection - Sunrise was early today, being only two days after the longest day of the year - June 21st. I was up by 4:30 AM with time to drive to the classic location for reflection pictures of the Teton range - Schwabacher Landing. This is normally a tough image to capture in just a single frame, due to the wide dynamic range (light to dark). In this case, I exposed for the highlights and by using the modern tools in Adobe's Photoshop Lightroom, I lightened the trees using Fill Light and darkened the sky a bit with Vibrance. I may try this again, especially if there are more clouds in the sky. Interestingly, there were just three of us there during the best light. Once the peaks were fully lit, hordes of photographers arrived, completely missing the boat. Ya gott'a get up early for the best pictures!
