The View

[JimFox]

We seem to be a little slow with new photos today, so my apologies to Doug as Yosemite is my favorite location, but this iPhone shot I took at sunset last night I am going to post here instead of his great Thursday Task community thread.

For those who might not know, this is from Tunnel View in Yosemite National Park.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Iconic view - hard to go wrong with a subject like this one. I like the pinks in the sunset skies and of course the view of the falls.

My one nit with iPhone shots of the sky is the emphasis on cyan with a saturation level that is just a bit too far for my tastes. I typically shift the hue/saturation of the sky in my own iPhone images but it is the case that I am doing all of those edits in LR/PS even on the road. If my feeble memory serves me correctly you are trying to do your edits directly on the iPhone.

I like it Jim

Looks great Jim, especially being an iPhone shot. The little cameras on iPhones are pretty dang good. Gotta get back to Yosemite some day.

Classic view. Nice light and clouds to cap it.

Thanks Alan! I have 1 bar of 4g cell signal, just enough to check in as my cameras are playing a musical tune to my ears here at the Bonneville Sslt Flats.

I edit my iPhone photos on my iPhone with Photoshop Express. In it if you will believe I did adjust the blues to change it from a cyan to a more blue feel. I pushed it as much as I was comfortable with before it felt like it was going to start falling apart. Maybe I will try to edit the edit?

I have never tried editing on my iPhone since I always have my laptop nearby. No clue what trying to do hue edits is like on my phone.

Thanks so much. I post the iPhone photos while traveling as that’s the best I can really do on the road, and they are a good taste of what’s to come when I can sit down and edit my DSLR images.

Yosemite is a place I just can’t get enough of. Tioga Pass is open you should try and get a reservation. I am hoping that when California opens the state up in tge 15th, that maybe Yosemite will just drop the reservation system as it’s a pain in the butt.

It’s easy to do, in PS Express you can adjust the HSL of each of the colors. So it’s really powerful. I just didn’t want to push it too far since I am editing on a 3” screen, it’s hard to really determine the smaller changes.

That is a delightful image of the view from the tunnel at Yosemite, Jim. I love the clouds.
