WORKING ON PHOTOGRAPHS

ARCATA MARSH SUNSET

It is true and thus easy for me to say that I really enjoy working photographs that I allowed to "ferment" for awhile. This image for example is one that I took a couple of months ago, and I worked it then, but was not ready to "like" it. I have about four varriations on this particular photograph, including a black and white copy.

ARCATA MARSH SUNSET IN BLACK AND WHITE

This image does not have as much post processing as the color photo above, but it should convey the basic idea of how it looks as a monochromatic photograph. I admit that I am not really much of a sunset photographer. There are those out there that have either the knack and/or the drive to make eye-catching images of our star as it puts on it finery, and my hat goes off to them.
