Does the Sun Rise If You Didn’t See It That Day? (Indiana Dunes National Park)

Does the Sun Rise If You Didn’t See It That Day?

Or is it imagined and told like a story in a novel

Perhaps sung in a folktale with guitars strumming

Words can be like photos,

A lot of truth mixed with imagined and things dreamt

Perhaps like a painter with oils and brushes mixing a tapestry across a canvas

What is seen or what is made up

They can both be part of a creation of an image

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon along the Dune Ridge Trail in Indiana Dunes National Park. The view was looking to the southeast from a dune ridge and then across a grassy marsh to a distant tree line. The afternoon (and most of the day) was overcast with off and on drizzle of rain. Hi decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward to minimize those overcast skies. It was as I began working on the image in post production that I then decided to once again try out the sky replacement setting in Photoshop with this image. The sunset colors with the clouds definitely seemed appropriate for this national park setting in what I had wanted to experience in person. So the skies are part of the Adobe stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 4 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
