28 Jun 24 Reply Thank you Steve for the suggestions. I agree they might improve the image! Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment Years ago, I stood about where you shot this image, but yours shines and mine did not because of the lighting and time of year. The palouse area has so many things to offer in the way of pictures! What a wonderful shot, and I like Kathy's idea of doing something different with the sky, although this one is ok too. Well-deserved first place on your previous image! Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment Wonderful shot all around! Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment I also like both images, and as Joe pointed out, the color one has some advantages, which, with Kathy's ideas, you might enhance the black and white some. What a good idea to watch for a time when it was possible to get a shot like this, around a bend. I like the color of the water and the train cars in the original image, and might have a tendency to keep both of those in your black and white, although the b&w does usually represent time-past history. I'm curious, did you shoot through a window, or was the window open? The one train ride I went on several years ago had windows that would not open, and so it was difficult to get a sharp, without some blurring and sometimes artifacts in the image. Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment I think this is the first night shot I have seen from within one of the slot canyons. Well-exposed. Now, if you could have had a light source, or had time for a super long exposure the overlay with this shot, that might be fun to try. How did it feel to be down in the canyon in the dark? Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment Ah, what a sweet half-smile!! You could consider replacing the background, but you nailed the expression and the shot!

28 Jun 24 Comment I like the zoom effect, and know from experience that it is not as easy as it looks! Joe's manipulation does help the lighting, and I might have a tendency to lessen the brightness (or change the coloring) of the other white objects in the right lower portion of the image. A thistle makes a good object for this technique. Well-done. It is not easy to keep one part of the image in sharp focus while zooming, I discovered. Jun 19th
28 Jun 24 Comment Thanks for your comments!! Kathy, here are the camera settings: Shot with the D800E camera, using the inexpensive Rokinon fisheye 8mm lens (It's the only lens I have that will expose the entire open sky in my yard, from one group of forest trees to the other, otherwise I have to end up stitching together images, but it does have a high distortion curve as you can see by the curved car lights). F 3.5, 15 sec. ISO 1000 and -0.5 exposure comp., pattern metering, on tripod and no flash. Hope this helps. The car lights at the bottom, going past on the road was just a lucky accident. I intended to take a picture of the northern lights above my neighbor's house, which is across the road. When I brought this image up on the computer, I was amazed to discover that the lights were a different color in that direction (which is a westerly, NW direction.Here is an image from more directly overhead from the same shoot.
