Foxfire Revisited

roll mouse over for original version
foxfire2

This week, I learned an important lesson. I was scrambling to get ready for a show at PhotoCentral. I was going to print out Foxfire for the wall at 11×16.5". I had accidentally saved a web sized version over the original (processed) image. Well, I thought no problem. I have the digital raw file and I will just re-process the image. Well, two hours later and 5 versions later. I realized that I could not reproduce my original processing even though I knew that I had done it quickly that night in Yosemite being very tired. This second version took hours to do and required about 30 adjustment layers to achieve. I do like it better than my original processing but… I am reconsidering flattening my processed images with the belief that I can re-create the processing.

To see the original processed version roll the mouse over the image.

Sorry for not posting. I have been swamped between my job and setting for my portfolio show. Whew!

This is another shot raided from the Sacramento Train Museum. I went out on Saturday morning to Crockett so should have a lot of abstracts but those images are still sitting in the camera.  The photographer walked into the shot and is ’chimping’ looking at the back of his own camera.
