Navigating Wall Street in Bryce Canyon National Park
While walking the Wall Street portion of the Navajo Loop with a view looking to the north. The very tall walls around were what I wanted to capture with this image and used a portrait orientation to help bring out the sheer size around me. I felt that including some steps to my front would add a sense of perspective to the height of the walls. The next thing on my mind was what I perceived as a large dynamic range between the brighter areas at the top of the wall and image with the more shadowed areas below. I metered for the brighter areas because of that. 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. 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. I wasn’t quite happy with the look of the skies (some blotches and not a true blue color), so I replaced that with a stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera.
