Just a fall shot along North Cheyenne Creek. Red doesn't grow in North Cheyenne Canyon so I had to import some red leaves via my neighborhood!!! =)
Before & after post processing. This 100+ year-old dairy farm barn and concrete silo (Keetch Family) is in the middle of a small town (St. Charles) in SE Idaho that has grown around it over the decades. Although there is very little overall light pollution in this rural area, there is quite a bit of local light pollution from several surrounding home yard lights, making the barn over lit with a mixture of sodium-vapor (yellow-orange) and mercury-vapor (green) light colors. Here are the corrective steps I took:
• Darken & desaturate the barn/silo via yellow channel
• Increased sky contrast (which reveals the
latent colors in the sky)
• Enhanced the Andromeda Galaxy*
• Reduce barn & silo keystone distortion
*The barn is facing the NE sky, so the core of the Milky Way is behind me.
In the northern outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, Florida sits a Conrad Yelvington distribution facility just off the CSX/SFRTA rail corridor. This place hosts quite the eclectic assortment of power used to switch railcars around their small yard. Displayed here is half of the plant's roster: PRLX GP38-2 #5250, an ex Southern high hood purchased by the Progress Rail lease fleet in 2020, and CYDZ ALCo S4 #364, which was built for the Seaboard Air Line as their number 1488 in April 1953. Also here at the plant is another Conrad Yelvington owned ALCo endcab and a PRLX GMD-1. Probably the last thing you'd expect to see in South Florida!
Done with crossword puzzles my Dad has done! He doesn't know yet that I have done this! Won't he be surprized??!! :)
One third of the way there (-ish). I have always liked the scars, in a 'you show me yours and I'll show you mine', sort of way...
He he, Just to prove that I can take a picture without having to process it! This is straight off the camera - just cropped a little.
I love the editing process the most but this Osteospermum just glowed in the late afternoon sunshine of early Autumn and I think any editing would have detracted from the natural beauty so here it is in all it's naked glory!
