B-Listed

 NO you are not seeing things! That is one huge moon over the formations of Monument Valley...but its sort of a hoax perpetrated by Moi! Reason you ask? I got bored! With all that rain and I'm caught up on my cardboard swatch freelance work...waiting for the next influx of samples to arrive so I played one afternoon with some of the photos I took in September and photoshopped them to make my B-list photos more into B+'s. 

 This moon is from halloween's big moon...I inserted it here in my shot of the Mittens, and made it a B & W Copy. 

And some shots from Bryce Canyon, 

To make the shot more dramatic and work with the light I had captured I darkened the overall shot and to me its more appealing.

   

 Here is another B-list shot...

   

 By increasing the color saturation and sharpness now it really shows off the color striations on these

 hoodoo rocks at Bryce Canyon.

   

And here is an enhanced pano at Bryce Canyon...B list

And I really like this B+ version. Just a slight change...

 And for my birding friends out there...I chased this chickadee all around this pine tree trying to get a shot! He wouldnt be still and I got this dark shot of him...and never really got a good look at him until I lightened up this dark image and behold-- I had a new bird to add to my life-list--the Mountain Chickadee! The B+ photo: I didn't save the original so...


   

 Taking things up a notch can mean more "keepers" in your digital photo albums! PS: I got that Tom Till book from Amazon for 1/2 price so looking very much forward to that little jewel arriving!!
