Just before this past Christmas I was on a trip out in Aspen CO. I took the opportunity to take some snaps with the G9 that I carry around with me all the time. I was shooting the mountains and as usual they just don't come across the lens as well as they do when we are using our Mark 5 Eyeballs. The just always seem bigger, but then it might be the pilot in me that knows what it is going to take to clear these behemoths.
So I was walking back to the plane (pictured) and the relationship of the aircraft and the hills behind it just looked cool. Again I was not expecting much in the camera but I took the shot anyhow. It was not until I got it home and jazzed it a little in CS3 that I really appreciated the image. A slight color cast and multiply to the sky, and onto the curves. I applied my standard s-curve to the image and it just did nothing for it. So I applied a curves adjustment that I learned form a seminar put on by Ben Willmoore last year and it just made the image pop. I laid a nice vignette around the edges and they you have it.
Take care all,
Doug
