Search for a Way in the Santa Elena Canyon (HDR, Big Bend National Park)
While at an overlook along the river bank and looking to the west while walking the Santa Elena Canyon Trail. My thinking in composing this image was to follow ideas I’d seen on Flickr and Instagram where one captures an image of a compass in hand and then a view beyond. Here I used the Santa Elena Canyon with the Rio Grande flowing by as the backdrop for the compass in my hand. I chose to work with Aurora HDR Pro to better bring that complete setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 5 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.
