My Favorite Place to Fly

[Rubik]

This was shot late in the day with my Typhoon H and CGO3+ camera. Note the rush hour commute backup and Mt. Rainier on the left. The TH is 400' above ground. There is still a slight haze due to forest fires nearby. You can see how we are losing good valley bottom farmland to industrial warehouses.

On a 4K monitor, the dark green foliage has tiny bright highlights that disappear on a 1080P monitor. This makes the foliage look considerably lighter and more distinct in 4K.

Settings:
Filter: ND8
Color: Natural
White Balance: White standard
Exposure: Auto, EVO -0.5
Resolution: 4000x3000 cropped to 16:9
File Type: .jpg (.dng also recorded)
Final File Size: 4783 KB

A little reduction in brightness and increased contrast were added in post using Corel PaintShop Pro. I was unable to get a result as good as this with the .dng in Lightroom. Probably just my lack of experience with the software.

Rubik, you can upload full jpg pics up to (but not over) 10 Megs. Either use "Upload a File" or simply Drag and Drop. May take a minute to load. Then select full size. Now clicking on a spot will bring it closer.
(Like this--hope you don't mind) It's a great pic.

Thanks, I'll do that next time.

Thanks, I'll do that next time.

I like the picture of the valley, but I'm trying to guess just where you were when you took the picture. Was the traffic on the old East Valley road?

Have you finished the video that you took at the eclipse yet?

 

[Rubik]

Thanks. Yes, that is the road.

You are referring to the eclipse video, thanks.
It was quite a drive to Central Oregon. Traffic was manageable going in but terrible coming out of the totality zone. Still, worth the effort.

 

[Jeff Kerry]

Yes the video. I can guess what the traffic was like. Everyone wanted to be in the path.
