It was a dark and rainy day

It was a dark and rainy day · 07:31 PM

The Desert Botanical Garden had arranged a photo hike on October 14 in the West Fork area in Oak Creek Canyon, Arizona. We got rained out, unfortunately, but I did get a couple of shots in. I like these two in particular.

*istD, FA24-90mm. ISO 800 and 400, respectively.

More photos from this trip are posted here:

Very nice in deed. That reminds me to head to the country as well.

Nice Job Ole,
The shots are great, I'm sorry to hear you got rained out. I think it would have been a very nice photo opp., from the few pictures you posted I would say.

I like both here but I think your first shot is the best I like the way the water winds it's way out from the colorfull rock formation.

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

Ole, did you selectively postprocess the first picture for extra contrast in the bottom part, or did the scene just look like that?

Edit: I just looked at it again, at work, and it looks fine. Must be a calibration issue at home.

I lowered the highlights and then added contrast overall. It was raining, and the pictures are rather "flat" right out of the camera, so I added some "snap".
