This is an image i reprocessed from one of my older trips, this one being to Antelope Canyon. Just looking at this image reminds me of what a magical landscape the west is. The best time to visit the canyon is normally mid morning when the sun is the highest. That is the only time when you can get direct sunrays illuminating the canyon floor, but as was my luck.. it was quite overcast on the only day i had a chance to visit it. Nevertheless i'm very happy i got a chance to visit it.
Technically taking a photo there is a bit of a challenge due to the large variation in luminosity, this being an overcast day was actually helpful for the exposure challenges as the light was not that intense. This was a single shot that has been then worked upon using luminosity masks in photoshop. I recently started using luminosity masks in my work and have found them to be extremely helpful in controlling the light in my captures after the fact.
