The Rock

I visited Mexican Hat in spring 2017 and spent a very windy night, shooting the famous Hat Rock under the starry skies.

 

While I have published a few shots from that night, I was not very happy with most final processed images. Recently I stumbled over one of these less than perfect captures and found that the RAWs did not look bad at all. I therefore reprocessed the image from scratch. I like the result much better now, but it also makes me question my processing skills from two years ago.

 

I guess I'll have to go back and recheck some of my old shots...
