About the Image(s)
Canon EOS 6D, 1/60 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200. Canon lens EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM @ 24 mm.
This image was taken back in 2016 in China from inside a moving bus along the famous winding road of Tianmen Mountain Road. At the time, I almost deleted the shot??”the original file was full of distracting reflections from the bus window. But I held on to it, believing that a strong raw file always has potential.
Years later, with more advanced editing tools and techniques, I was able to transform that flawed capture into something far more presentable. It’s a reminder that in photography, what looks unusable at first glance can still become a compelling image with the right vision and processing. Sometimes, the difference between deleting and creating something beautiful is simply patience??”and a bit of faith in your raw file.
