Little did I know about digital photography back in 2008 when these photos were made. I had my old NIKON D200 exactly for one year in April 2008 when Joan and I visited Arches and Canyonland National Park in Utah. I didn’t even know that there were good times and bad times for landscape photography, hence that all three clicks were made when every serious landscape photographer probably sat in a bar in Moab, UT, had a drink, and waited for the killer light the evening would provide. At that time I still thought a bold blue sky was the greatest thing that could happen for making a decent image. OK, I’m kidding a little, but you get the idea…
Don’t take me wrong, I still like the photos somehow because there is of course an emotional attachment. They were shot in RAW mode, have been never published before, but thanks to shooting in RAW they allow me today, with the latest post processing software in place (Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC 2014), to analyze what went wrong and what can be done in a future project. We are pretty close to our annual vacation. It won’t be Arches or Canyonland NP but an environment with maybe similar light conditions. Looking forward to it…
