Wandering America & Canada - Update on Part 8
Jun 23, 2019 10:38:54 #
I realized that Part 8, which I posted yesterday, did not make the cut for the Digest today. So I thought I'd share a couple of images I took while at the Grand Tetons Nat'l Park along with the link to Part 8 if you're interested.
The images below are of the Mormon Barn ... which, according to Wikipedia, was built by Thomas Alma (TA) Moulton and his sons between about 1912 and 1945. The barn is all that remains of the homestead today & was sold by the Moulton family to the Nat'l Park Service, so it is not part of the Grand Teton's Nat'l Park. It is an incredibly beautiful spot & reportedly, the most photographed barn in the country.
If you didn't see Part 8 & you are interested in reading it, then click on the link below:

Mormon Barn, Grand Tetons Nat'l Park, 3 shot panoramic. PP included NIK detail which upon review, I thought was a bit too heavy handed. I seldom do it, but I converted this shot to a B&W & kinda liked it.

Thank you Longshadow. Appreciate the comment.
I was trying to decide which I like more. I believe the color,
but the B&W looks like a neat charcoal sketch...

Funny you should say that ... I thought about asking which people favored ... & I think you are right about the charcoal sketch idea ... I like the color shot better because while I liked the contrast of the B&W, the barn seemed to fade into the background. Wasn't sure how to address that. May have to spend some time trying to figure B&W out.

...I like the color version as well...the mountains seem to get lost in the B&W...

The download (larger than the thumbnail) seems to separate the barn and the background better. The "blending into" illusion may be caused by the smaller image? Or less detail?

Yup ... although I had the original photo & my reaction was to that. But I am glad to hear the download separates it out a bit better ... although SkyKing thought the mountains were lost. I don't edit a lot of shots with it, but I find NIK Detail can sometimes bring out things in a shot, but it's so easy to overcook it, particularly the clouds, which was why I didn't like the 2nd version in color.
All of that said, I find it interesting to read the range of opinions on UHH ... some really good photographers can differ almost at polar opposites on a photo. Guess that's what makes it such an interesting avocation ... trying to come up with shots that have appeal to a larger group. Best.

Very nice shot - the color version definitely does it for me - but then I am really a color-guy.

Thanks ... obviously from my comments, it would be pretty easy to see I still have a lot to learn about B&W. Thanks for the comment.
