About the Image(s)
This view of Yosemite Valley was shot from the Tunnel view parking lot. If you're not familiar with Yosemite, there are two entrances to the park that run on the north and south side of the Merced river. After driving through a sub-mountain tunnel on the southern route, this is the view you are presented with upon exiting the tunnel.
This was shot with a full frame rangefinder set at ISO 200 and 1/160 sec. The lens was a 90mm at f/16. In Lightroom, I opened of the shadows a bit, increased the clarity for more mid-tone contrast and pushed the dehaze up slightly for more sky depth. The conversion was done in Silver Efex Pro 2 using the high structure harsh preset then toning it down a bit with the adjustment sliders.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

What kind of digital full frame rangefinder was it?   Posted: 06/05/2020 15:59:27
I would work on that bright strip of cloud in the centre of the sky as it dominates the image and pulls the eye and just below it in the centre there is a mark in the cloud that looks like a dust spot, I would remove it.
Wonderful image.   Posted: 06/12/2020 08:29:22
We would like to see "more". Did you take more pictures to be able to make a panorama (if you like that of courseā¦)?
The texture of the hills is well visible.   Posted: 06/16/2020 04:22:45
