Salvage Saturday

[Ben Egbert]

Time to pile on with your reprocessed images.

Today I am showing an image that I expected to be a wall hanger when i was out there. I had at first some great color in the sky, and later some great light on the peaks, but never both at the same time. Being greedy, I blended the two version to get both in the same image, but it never looked right. When I revisited this I focused on teh sky and let the peaks stay as they were. I also avoided and strong additions to the clouds.

Really nice fall colors and sunset - easy to see why you could get greedy with a scene like this.

My salvage job for today is from near the end of my film days with a nice lenticular cloud hovering above Mt. Adams. I was never quite happy with the scans of this shot but decided to see what could be done with this some 20 years later.

Great salvage and scan of a beautiful scene.

Thanks John, I think I could crop to 16x9 taking it off the bottom

I would sure be happy with this. Love that cloud Alan! We don't see a lot of photos of Mt Adams, so I am glad you rescued this one.

There will be more Mt. Adams shots coming. There aren't a lot of good viewpoints of that mountain along the many roads around it. Unless of course you go up above the trees

Beautiful lenticular cloud, Alan.

I have been working on this for a while, but I don't think I'm there yet. This thread needs more posts, so I am putting it up now. Comments are welcome.

Thanks for joining in Douglas, I can't see anything I would change on this beautiful image. Is this the garden wall in Glacier?

It is, Ben.

An early color 4x5 outing. I still hadn't learned hot to get white balance right. So I just rescanned this one.
I had taken an Iphone shot of this that came out great. My return with the 4x5 wasn't what I hoped for.

What do you think needs to be improved or altered?

I think this looks pretty good!

Alan might have to double check the location, but I had this marked as Cape Anne at Cannon Beach.

One from 2007

I think maybe I am just burned out. The original was dark, and the sky was grainy.
