Let’s play #12

See the let’s play guidelines above

I found a perfect image for this week because three other FW members were standing nearby when I shot this.

Show us what you would do with it.

Here is a link to the download page.

The attached image is a small jpg of the raw, but use the download dng file for rework.

Thought I'd give this one a go. Really lovely scene, Ben.
Here's my stab....

 

[Ben Egbert]

Really nice job here Barry thanks a lot for doing this

I cheated and looked at the timestamp and then looked up my own shots from nearby

I did not attempt to embellish the sunset colors although it would be really easy with these clouds. They almost beg for such a treatment.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Nice Alan, I like that you did. Not overbrighten the image as I did on my first cut

Great work here Barry, it’s awesome having you join in.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

A nice scene Ben.
​

Here is my attempt include some crop and bit of cleaning up. Wanted to give warm look with fall colors and late evening light.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very nicely done Jameel. This is how I wanted it to look, and I think you have kept it within the realm of realistic .

Here's mine...

 

[Ben Egbert]

Another great contribution. Thanks for posting it Kyle.

Since the title of the thread is Lets Play I decided to go ahead and play with the image since it isn't mine anyway

The sunset I wish we had been shooting:

Ben - I'd like this one to be my entry replacing my original version.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Thanks Alan, this is a good one and I agree on the wish for a better sunset. I will use this as your entry.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

Is it too late to play? I just got back from Utah today!

 

[Ben Egbert]

Not too late at all Darcy, and why on earth did you want to leave Utah

I didn't want to leave hahahah

Ok, here is mine, I am trying to get this just as it looked in person. I would appreciate the comments to this effect of those who were there.

There you go Alan! Go a little crazy here.

Hey Ben, how long are you leaving this up this week? I might get a chance to pull out my laptop tonight, so I will try to play too.

Ben - color wise I think you are almost dead on. I think this is a bit on the light side for overall brightness but not by a lot. You should gain a little color if you bring the overall brightness down and that matches my own shots from 7:15p. We were at a point of losing the light of the day since we bailed about 20 minutes after you shot this and needed flashlights by the time we got back to the parking area.
