I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning, but when I peeked out the window and saw the low clouds I had to go! I got back down to the hotel and discovered my tire was in need of a patch...fun. Here's one from the trip back down to civilization.
And here's one that challenges my minimal photoshop skills. The center hills lack contrast, and the small hill in the LRC was darkened through the process. I'm going to play around with this one, but this will at least provide an idea of what I saw...
Another challenging one for me. These last two just have several layers of parts that require greater range. I'm slowly working my way through tutorials and learning how to perform steps little by little. I can create layers that have the elements I want, it's the process of blending them that I'm having trouble with.
I thought it read "Fat Tire" which might have been more fun....
anyhow, these are pretty cool, Charles, looks like a TC kind of morning. Ive never liked tutorials--prefer to beat my head against the wall until something works--but im sure youll find what works for you. I hihgly recommend using RAW processing software for the bulk of your processing, use PS for the refinements. Looks good!
Those panorama shots are mighty fine!
Remember that you can select what you wish to edit. It doesn't always have to be a global fix. Then Layer->Layer via Copy when you're ready to apply the edit.
Reading tutorials is the best way to learn...eventually optimizing your work will become second nature.
NIce set Charles - I am with you here, I am also having a hard time in blending ( and Masking) may be will get through it, now thinking seriously that GND s are better options - but perhaps working with too much of these filters are really difficult when you have the golden light for a few moments
Gotta love that Rampart fog even if it means getting up early. Bummer about the tire, but at least it sounds like you got back down to patch it in enough time. I like the last one the best here, nice light on Pikes. Forget the tutorials, sometimes plain old trial and error works best.
Clouds and Caudles just go together I guess.
A very nice set of images. Just some fine tuning on development, which is a mix of tutorials and trial and error for me. Some day, I might get one right.
Charley, these are good shots that just need a little TLC. I'll be up in a few weeks and we'll get you squared away with the basics in the span of an afternoon. All that will be required is a batch of your lovely wife's spaghetti casserole.

Todd - We always have the ingredients on hand. If you give me enough notice I can whip up some cheesecake too!
