About the Image(s)
Sanibel/Captiva are two small island off the western coast of Florida that had significant damage from Hurricane Ian 2 years ago. The entire area has not completely recovered from Ian and was hit last week by Helene with severe flooding and now it looks like yet another Hurricane will inflict damage on that idyllic spot, how much is yet to be determined since as I write this they are not sure exactly where on the west coast it will come in. Regardless they will have impact, the question is how extensive, depending on where it comes on land. I find it hard to believe that people are not convinced we have global warming!
This image was taken as one of the fishing rigs left for a leisure morning of fishing in 2022. One month later the islands (and Fort Meyers) were inundated with water from Ian. I write this with sadness since this was our favorite spot for family vacations. We have been back once since then, on New Year's eve last year and planned to go again this year over Christmas. That is not likely to happen now. We will also be in the crosshairs ....but the impact should not be as severe since there is more land to transverse which lessens it power....unless it changes course yet again.

Can you tell me what you did to increase the colors in the sky? Saturation of the pinkish color? I very much like that effect but not sure what you used. I've tried several things and nothing gave me the tones you achieved. I normally do most of my color modifications in LR not RAW but thought they were pretty much identical. Im trying to keep my mind off the weather and since I still have power..... thanks!   Posted: 10/09/2024 20:19:51
