In the first post I talked about photographing Yosemite Valley at sunrise from Tunnel View in a snow storm. I imported the images into Lightroom and reviewed them there. One stood out. See The Making of a Photograph Part 1 – Selection.
The next step is to explore the image for possibilities. I do this in Lightroom, making virtual copies of the image that I can then adjust. I adjust such things as color temperature, exposure, highlights, shadows, fill, contrast, saturation, hue and more. The goal is to see what’s in the image and what it’s capable of expressing. I’m also looking for something that gets me excited.
