Always enjoy your posts, Jim. I am drawn to stormy, dramatic skies also but not quite as many opportunities here in the east. Do you ever use Vivid setting in pict control or more use of post processing for color control? Thx Pat
Thanks, Pat. To answer your question, though, no and yes. Since I only shoot in raw, there's no point in using those (Vivid, etc.) in-camera picture control settings. Those only apply when shooting .jpg images. Consequently, any color or tonal adjustments I might make are applied while processing.

Thank you for your response, Jim. I had guessed as much but wanted to be certain. I will have to double check but I am using the Nikon Z7 and I had inadvertently left Vivid picture control on and unknowingly shot a cherry log on the ground that had some fungus fans and the resulting image was amazingly colorful with purple cherry bark and yellow/green fungus. I believe I shot it in Raw with the pict control still on. I'll look again and let you know. Pat

I have several relatives in the Moab area. My great Uncle was George White. Are you familiar with that name and the ranch he once owned on the Co. River?
Am I familiar with George White's name? Less so than I was familiar with George himself. Can't say I knew him like some others around here knew him, but I did know him well enough to have dinner with him at his ranch a couple of times. And as regards the ranch, like some (or many?) around here, the pleasure of coming around that last bend in the tight section of the Canyon to where the things open up and you see the River and the bottomlands stretching off into infinity --or the Top Of The World, whichever comes first--, and seeing one of the best views anywhere around here accessible on a paved road, with White Ranch in the foreground, well..... that's now..... something that's less..... Let's just say that what's there now is something that would be more appropriate somewhere other than where it is, even if its attendant restaurant does a reasonably decent Sunday brunch.
Had you ever spent time at your great uncle's ranch? Had you ever matched up the scenes you saw with the John Ford films that were shot there? Those weren't movie sets; those were real places.
