Mittens

This image of the Mittens in Monument Valley was taken 1978 using a Rollieflex SL66, the film was Kkodacolor, a Kodak color negative film. The negative was scanned and then processed using Photoshop. The B&W conversion was done in Camera Raw Filter.

A bit of nostalgia with this shot. Nice viewing angle for these formations. Likely quite a few less people around this area in those days. I might be inclined to add more contrast if this were my image as it feels a little flat

Hi Alan I took your suggestion tweaked the Mitten image with more contrast and a few other minor tweaks and come up with this version 2 of the image and must admit it is better.

Much better! I always like to check my histograms to make sure I have a true black and true white in the image unless leaving one of those out serves a purpose.

Nice rework and a classic view of the mittens.

Very cool Larry! From back in the good old days.

It's funny as I looked at the original I thought that it just needed some more contrast, and then I saw that Alan had suggested it, and you had added an edit. The extra contrast really adds to this image.

Thanks Jim and yes it was from the good old days!
