Back to the grind....


What did I hear most of today.  "How was Yellowstone"?    It barely needed an answer.  Anybody that even slightly knows me knows the answer to that question.  It rained every day, most of the day except Friday.  For photography not all bad!  The filtered light made for a lot of fairly easy exposures like the one above of the Goose and the Gooselets.  What did however make this photo a little difficult was that I was shooting through a fog that was rising just in front of the birds.  Look at the bottom left of the photo it is a little lighter or "milky".  Thanks to post shooting darkroom opportunities I eliminated the majority that was in the photo.  Some call this color cast correction.  There a several methods for removing color cast.  Here is the way I learned it from the master Moose Peterson.  And here is a different method.  Learning this technique is essential.  I have used the process on occasion like in the photo above.  Take the time to learn this technique and you will never regret it.
