This was taken at Silver Falls State Park. Silver Falls State Park is a state park in Oregon, located near Silverton, about 20 miles east-southeast of Salem. There are so many waterfalls and so much natural beauty in the Oregon/Washington region.

Lol. This is kind of the back yard in WA state. This up in Snow Lake just before the Enchantments. Camped there the night before heading up. Look up the Enchantments on Google when you get a chance. BTW, I was air lifted from up there after breaking my foot. https://www.zeissimages.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1701796291.0.jpg This was a pano. I should try some cropping. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't like Lightroom so I use Photoshop. Personal preference. I also only adjust 1 or 2 images from a shoot. I don't batch anything. For each color channel: R, G, B, C, M, Y, and each luminosity channel: Highlights, Midtones, Shadows, I adjusted contrast, saturation, brightness. Normally I lower saturation and raise contrast and brightness, but it's individually done for each channel as necessary. I find I use very little sharpening when adjusting contrast. The last thing is to disable visibility of the Background layer, merge all other layers that are visible, and then turn background layer back on. Stare and compare between background and top layer and adjust opacity of top layer accordingly. Usually down to about 66%. This process seems to add to the already 3D look from Zeiss lenses. But then... I'm annal about stuff like this! B=)

Thanks for sharing!

There is still something magical looking about film. Great shot.
