Mountain Peaks All Around and a Backdrop for the Lucerne Campground
This was from the stern of the ferry boat as it headed away from the campground we'd just stopped. So as the view pulled back, I could see more and more of the towering mountains all around. One mountainside after another seemed to come out to add that magnificent backdrop for this part of Lake Chelan and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. The idea I wanted to capture with this image was to have the campground area towards the bottom of the image with minimal water foreground. The rest of the image was about mountains...big mountains towering above. I wanted anyone seeing this image to appreciate and enjoy that early "summer" day in the Washington Cascades while staying at that campground. I later used some CEP filters (Low Key, Polarization and Graduated Neutral Density) in Capture NX2 which seemed to best bring out look I wanted in a final image, even with the bright sunlight from the early afternoon.
