Frosty and Foggy VII
No visit to Elk island would be complete for me without a stop alongside what I call Loon Lagoon, named because for a couple of years if I waited long enough I would have a good chance of seeing a couple of Loon, but only at quite a distance.
On this day I brought two cameras, both fullframe. On the older 6D I had my 100-400mm and on the newer R6 I had the 16-35. I never expected to see wildlife and I didn't. Not even a Raven.
Here the 16-35 was way too short, and the 100-400 was too long, so shooting at 100mm I have combined two shots to make this pano. It is indeed in colour, of which on this day there was very very little.
I did actually give some added contrast boost by adding both Clarity and Dehaze in Adobe Camera RAW. Without , the scene was so very flat because of the bit of fog.
I have to say that getting colour balance correct, or near correct with these shots is very difficult for me. I find that giving the same colour balance in each shot still ends up looking varied. And processing each shot individually is easy to get major differences. Even if looking away or taking a break and coming back to the computer I find it difficult. Even a very small correction seems to give a colour cast, so please forgive the variances of these shots, as in the end I have processed each to taste.
EDIT: I replaced my original upload with the full res image I kept, as details in the trees at anything but full resolution really suffers, so again, two clicks to the best view.
