Thanks Ben, Jameel, Alan, Jim, Darcy and Douglas! Jim, thanks so much for the Daily Featured! This group of slackliners frequents Seneca Rocks, for obvious reasons. Me and a couple other photographers have been working with them looking for a chance to set up a moon shot of them. It didn't...

Seneca Rocks in West Virginia is an iconic cliff formation where fins of resistant sandstone layer jut several hundred feet vertically out of the hills below North Fork Mountain. Several billion pictures, by everyone from casual tourists to professionals, have been taken from its front, west...

Thanks, Ben, Alan, Bob and Jim! I agree that the lights on the ground are distracting, but they are part of the story. The New River Gorge is no pristine wilderness. It has a long history of mining and timbering, and active railroads still traverse both sides of the river for the entire length...

I was back down in the New River Gorge area last week. I was being juried as an accepted artist for Tamarack, a showcase for the best of West Virginia arts and crafts. I was accepted (woohoo!) which means I can submit images to the several exhibitions they have during the year as well as place...

Thanks, Douglas! Dave

Thanks Alan, Ben, Amy, Alisa, Jameel and Jim! It has been a while since I have done any new pictures of the "other side" of the Blackwater River, but i'll post them when I do! Dave

The Blackwater River starts in and traverses Canaan Valley (the highest elevation large valley east of the Rockies). Much of the Valley is wetland and dominated by the Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge and two state parks. After about a 12 mile winding path across the valley, the Blackwater cuts a...

Thank you, @Kyle Jones . I never did solve the problem of inconsistent effects when applying the same adjustments to different images in the same panorama. I noticed that the Exposure slider does not seem to have this problem - it lightens or darkens every part of each image to the same degree...

Thanks, Tom! Dave

Thanks, Jameel, Alisa and Jon! Dave

Thanks for your tests, Ken. Even though I understand that they are trying to make it more responsive to the image, that is counterproductive for cases where you specifically need the same content to be treated the same by the same adjustment across multiple images. When you say Version 2 or...

Yes, I would hope that once the frame are stitched together, that ACR or Lightroom would treat them the same throughout the image. But I need to develop the raw images before I can stitch them. And it is in that development process, still working with separate images, that this happens. Yes, I...

I shoot with white balance fixed at Daylight, always. This isn't a color balance problem, but rather lightness. I have no trouble with white balance, it stays uniform from frame to frame. Also, I notice that the Exposure slider does not cause this problem -- changing it lightens or darkens the...

Thanks so much Alan, Ben, Mike Jim and Ken. Jim, I really appreciate the Featured Photo honor! @Ken Rennie , you are right, and I intend to do edits similar to what you suggest. I just discovered the reason that some of my recent panoramas have a gradient of lightness that is not in the...

This kind of falls in the category of "I didn't deserve this, but I'll take it!" My girlfriend and I went down to Beckley, WV to drop off pictures for an exhibition we had both been selected for, and were just spending the rest of the day poking round the new River Gorge (our newest National...
