We had some lovely clouds today. I've also invented SQTâ„¢ Super Quick Tip, a way to summarize other people's Photoshop tutorials to get a certain effect. I call this one LAB exposure and soft light. The SQT is:
.
Duplicate layer - Apple-J, Screen 85% (skipped for this particular image)
Convert to LAB mode
Duplicate layer - Apple-J, Apply image, LAB channel soft light 85%
A look down a set of railroad tracks where they cross Highway 313, just off the main road (U.S. Highway 191) leading to Moab, Utah and Interstate 70 (south and north, respectively).

I am one of several folks across the globe that took a picture
at this exact moment. the Moment blog | the Moment flickr group
A stellar lightning storm brought a cooling rain to our area early this morning. So, thankfully, all day it stayed cool and drizzly until shortly before the Moment arrived and the sun popped out. When my alarm went off I stepped outside and was instantly caught by the notion of how many times during the day I pass through my front door, but rarely embrace it's own unique and unchanging perspective.
I have had a hard time this week coming up with something to photograph. It has been cold, wet, and damp here in Belgium all week and the forecast for this coming week is more of the same. As I sat in my van yesterday waiting for the downpour to slow down for me to get out, I thought to myself, this has been my whole perspective all week. I have been down, out of focus, and grey. I think the lack of sunshine is getting to me along with the cold. I hope that the sun and warmth decide to show up soon and that my perspective will change too!!!
I fooled around on Photoshop to correct the perspective on this wide-angle shot. Not perfect, but what the hey, I've uploaded it anyway.
Had other ideas for this week's theme but went to a cancer benefit for a little girl last night. It was a fantastic time with some great bands all for a great cause. She's only 6 or 7 and battling cancer for a second time. :( Really puts your life into perspective and makes you appreciate what you have!
