Socked In
by Mark Shephard
While surfing thru some of my old images I came across probably my all time favorite image of Moraine Lake. The clouds were rolling in as I was collecting my camera gear out of the car and the further up the rock pile I went the lower the cloud dropped into the valley. I got a handfull of shots off before the rain started to fall and I was soaked to the core by the time I got back to the parking lot. It was worth every single drop. :)
Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a look.
As always your thoughts and comments are welcome and appreciated.

8 commentsI would cool the white balance a little.
"I'm still on a big learning curve on photoshop with what i can do in the post image department. I'll have to look into PS a little deeper."
I might say, that when shooting RAW the work done is "PRE image". We work directly from an arbitrary negative (a digital one). I know I quoted Dan Margulis on another thread about a week ago, but the comment I think may be helpful (at least it was to me):
"Many photographers are uncertain as to what actually constitutes a raw file. The "original" is a hypothetical version that comes out of Adobe Camera Raw (or another converter) with no corrections at all -- everything set to zero, a flat, dark and colorless version (almost unviewable and much like a negative). We cant possibly accept that as a representation of our work so we are committed to making MAJOR corrections/adjustments (development)."
This concept might help in the steep learning curve. Good luck.
