Took three hand-held exposures, then used Photomatix and a trial of Nik Color EFex to produce this. Not sure what I'm doing yet, but it's fun to see all the different "looks".
(Actually, this shot was taken before yesterday's, but, oh well...)

The La Sal mountains don't seem so distant
Cruising down Utah Highway 128 (from the northeast, heading sort of southwest, to answer Steven's question from yesterday), we were following the Colorado River. We came upon a curve and this stunning sight came into view. We'd been seeing the snow-capped La Sal mountains since being on Interstate 70, but they didn't seem so distant from this vantage point.

ReplyDeleteI'm loving this tour you're taking us on, those colours in the distance are amazing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. The view of the La Sal mountains inside Arches is always my favorite backdrop to that place. Makes me long to get back to the southwest!
ReplyDeleteWowser again! What a great range both mountains and colors.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful with all the interlocking layers between the viewer and the mountains. The colors are to die for.
ReplyDeleteW-o-W!
ReplyDeleteI think you're planning my next vacation for me, Val. This is simply stunning--the colors, the composition, everything.
