About the Image(s)

This scene is about two miles northwest of Ketchum Idaho, a town with many art and crafts places, good quality restaurants, and stores. Of note, Captain Tom who selects individual photographers to show an image in the Chapter Showcase each month. I heard from him and entered my third image that will begin in the Chapters Showcase in mid-November.

I used a tripod to take this image with my D500 Nikon, with 24.0 - 124.0 lens Nikon Lens at 2 stops with the Photomatix Pro 7 using the "optimizer setting" with 1/15 sec, 1/60 sec and 1/250 sec at a f11 setting with an ISO of 100. The focal setting was 38mm. I prepared the original image by removing 6 power lines, a power transformer on a post, adjusting with Photoshop Beta the shadows, removing a road that was at the bottom, and expanding the sky to prepare for a larger size print.
