The Light and The Dark by courtney_meier The light of the Milky Way burns brightly over Ruby Mountain and the Arkansas Headwaters, near Salida, Colorado. The side of the mountain facing me is illuminated by a single porch light from a farm house in the meadow near the Arkansas River. In the center of the image, the warm glow on the horizon is the light from Colorado Springs, some 80 miles away from where I sat near the embers of a campfire. Inspired by a certain photographer from Wigan, I wanted to take a trip through the archives and see what I might find that might be improved upon compared to my original attempt. As such, this is the first time I have posted the same source image twice, with the only difference being the passage of time and the processing applied. Technical notes: 5-shot stitch of source photos pre-processed in Lightroom, then after stitching, brought into Photoshop to separately develop the sky and foreground. Each of the source photos was a single exposure. https://flic.kr/p/2iRUcTN -- source link
