Sunlight Can Add That Warm Glow to a Day (Monahans Sandhills State Park)
Wherever One Is Going! While walking around the sand dune formations in the Pump Jack Picnic area of Monahans Sandhills State Park with a view looking to the east. What I wanted to capture with this image was a look across and up the sand dune formations with the ripples of sand and foot prints from another person recently walked. The sun would be high up in the skies with its warm sunlight and casting shadows in other places. The one thing I did have to keep in mind, other than metering the image properly to not below any highlights, was also to minimize the artifacts across the lens from the sunlight. I was able to minimize that and then work with Photoshop to heal those out. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
