This is looking up the Manatee River in summer. After a few minutes we got a thunderstorm for about twenty minutes, then a crazy sunset; every day like clockwork.

 

The one-second shutter speed makes the water smooth, like the calm before the storm. I'm nervous when out in these conditions, the air is thick, and it's only a matter of time before lightning strikes. We get more lightning than anywhere on earth because of the geography. My heightened state of nerves battles it out with my need to get a good picture.

 

The thunder clouds always come down the river, from east to west. Often, if we're at an outdoor restaurant along the water, we can watch the clouds heading towards us. The river is about a mile wide, so it has its own micro-climate. After the storm passes, we brush the water off the table and, enjoy the rest of the meal, just like clockwork.

I got out for a walk between rain storms today to try to see if I could get some relfection shots. Instead I got stuck on the abandoned train tracks taking pictures of fallen leaves.

One has to seek out the reality around

For many things aren't what they seem

People pretend or hide, sometimes even avoid entanglements

But the trees and nature are what they are

There's a simplicity in their appeal

From the sun shining through the leafage above

to the dirt and grasses we walk through on life expedition.

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Mammoth Cave National Park while walking under trees along the Turnhole Bend Nature Trail.

 

As for the image captured, I was able to bring out a decent look for the NEF/RAW image in Capture NX2. It was then that I recalled downloading the newest version of Aurora HDR 2019 and tried that out with the NEF image. That definitely allowed me to work with a better set of colors in an image! I then exported a TIFF image to Capture NX2 to do some initial work with color control points in adjusting saturation, brightness and contrast. I finished up the image by adding a Foliage and Polarization CEP filter for the final image seen.

Prior to capturing Half Dome at Twilight (posted 4-images back), I was grabbing a few frames at sunset also. As noted in the other version, a lot of other photographers were doing the same thing, as this is one of the most iconic views of Half Dome. On this late afternoon day, it was windy and the clouds were constantly on the move, changing size, shape and amount. Out of several frame sets, this one worked the best for a monochrome version that I was looking for.

 

Image was processed in AuroraHDR 2019 for the 3-EX bracket @ 2-EV. Later on, it was sent to Luminar 2018 for the conversion and a few additional adjustments. Days later and before printing, Lightroom 5 was used for a final adjustments. Image was cropped to a 4X5 ratio.

 

Post: AuroraHDR 2019, Luminar 2018 & Lightroom 5.

One amazing sunset I went out to visit the tree and a naval vessel, the Monaco, sailed up to visit. They seem to have a good crew on there! :)
