Yesterday’s Giant Hoodoos Minus Airglow
This is a follow up to the image I posted yesterday. Yesterday’s post with the green skies is the more “real” image, the way it was displayed on my camera LCD screen with no color change in processing. Todays 2 images are what I see in my “Mind’s Eye” and what I think people expect to see. I’ve removed the green airglow because many people that do not do night photography find it strange and unnatural and have a hard time relating to the image. I post this as an educational post about airglow. Green and red airglow are natural but we cannot see the colors at night as our night vision is primarily black and white. This last summer the skies were diffusely green on my camera LCD on many nights. Many photographers remove the green because viewers find it unnatural when in fact it is normal. There are 2 images in this post, an image processed with a “warmer” tone and an image processed with a “cooler” tone. Stacked image, 12mm, ISO 6400, f/2.8, 10 seconds.
