....at the first of a 'shoot'.

Here's the deal: Yesterday I'd posted a couple of images I'd shot the afternoon before. Both of those were 'initial impressions' of the little I'd shot (in the sense of having 'seen' quite a lot, but had shot relatively little of during the time that I'd been out), while the attached is what I'd specifically 'gone to see' in that space of that time, and was the first (a 'sequence' in the sense of it being a 'pano' comprised of a dozen shots) of what I'd shot.

Today, I spent a bit more time on this image --the image attached-- and it's fairly precisely the image I meant to make. By 'make', I mean having 'made' it while continuing to 'learn' the workings of the most recent --and more-or-less revolutionary-- updates that've been incorporated into Adobe LightRoom's capabilities. Those who don't 'process' beyond the basics --cropping, WB, some mild color correction, leveling a horizon or what-have-you may not care a whit, but I'm finding these 'new' tools well worth the (pittance) of gold that I get charged per month.

The picture is not 'Mormon Row' up in Teton, it likewise isn't 'Tunnel View' over in Yosemite, and it most definitely isn't some unpronounceable place in Iceland. It is, conversely, a very particular --though purposefully 'un-iconic'-- place I've been a number of times before, and it's a place that 'works for me.' It's also a place that's accessible on (an almost) moment's --okay, half an hour, but who's counting?-- notice.

Bottom line is: this is what I went to get. And I got what I wanted to get. But not before I'd 'made' it using a camera and some software.
