Yosemite & The Eastern Sierra

15 16 17 18 19 20 21 October 2018

Introduction

These are photos from the Fall Color in California's Eastern Sierra and Autumn Light in Yosemite workshops I helped lead.

Most of these works received significant artistic input in Photoshop CS6 and the Perfectly Clear plugin until they looked as I originally imagined them in the first place. For instance, I often add deliberate edge-burning (vignetting).
