About the Image(s)

Here is an image I took during a trip to Greece, last year. This is a view of the entrance to the Vikos Gorge from our hotel at the Aristi Mountain Resort. This image was taken with a Nikon D7200 with a Tamron 18-400 lens at f/6.3 1/2000 shutter with an ISO of 400, and a focal length of 18mm.

Post processing was done in Photoshop 2024. I did some initial exposure/color adjustments in a Camera Raw filter. I broke the image into 3 zones, foreground, background and sky. For the sky I did a dehaze and decreased the exposure a little. I then duplicated that layer and decreased the exposure more and masked it so that the shadows on the clouds were increased. For the foreground opened up the shadows. For the background I did a dehaze and decreased the exposure and increased the contrast a little. I sharpened some of the details a little on the cliff and the village. I then cropped out some of the foreground and the right hand side of the image. I removed the leaves left on the right and a telephone pole and wires in the foreground.
