Rain Falling on the Waters of Horseshoe Lake (Denali National Park & Preserve)
A view looking to the south-southwest while walking the Horseshoe Lake Trail and its namesake. With this image, I decided to use some of the nearby lakeshore and grassy meadow with trees in order to somewhat frame the image of the lake waters, even as the raindrops fell all around me. I could then angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to bring the portion of the forest on the other side of the lake up in the image and minimize the more overcast and cloudy skies above. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLabs 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2.
