Unwinding After Launching Rockets in the Desert
I am preparing for a presentation about hobby rocketry in the USA, so I looked through my large photo collection. I took this blue hour shot at Balls in September 2016. Balls is a big experimental rocket launch event in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada - the same place where Burning Man takes place. About 300 people camped in the middle of the playa (dry lakebed), so that it is easy to drive to a rocket to retrieve it after launch. Participants have time for leisure after launching rockets throughout the day.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
