When I was out looking for the rising moon a couple of nights ago, I couldn't see the moon behind the clouds, but this was what I saw looking West towards the setting sun. The color was incredible. This isn't modified or enhanced.

Beautiful shot Jeff. I love Sooc stuff 🙂
Fantastic pic I love it..love+love
Nicey shot
it looks good,
Technically you're absolutely right +J. Rae Chip, the CMOS sensor readings are converted to colors using some algorithm, that RAW color map is converted to something during editing (Lightroom has multiple color conversion tables to choose from… Adobe Standard, Camera Standard, Landscape and so on), then there's a conversion to JPG with a particular color space sRGB, etc). That's rendered by a monitor for display, or by a printer which may have only four actual colors! It's a messy process, and any claim of "reality" is both overstated and a bit misguided (since cameras don't "see" like we do anyway).
i just love that <333

Nature certainly doesn't need PS +James Haney. There are times however when my camera sure does though, since it doesn't "see" Nature in a way even remotely similar to the way my eyes record it and my mind perceives it. The greatest challenge is not to enhance Nature, but to gently recover it from the damage often done by a single unedited exposure, with unnaturally dark shadows or blown highlights. Of course post-processing is a risky business, reaching the other side while maintaining realism is like walking a tightrope: it's easy or even likely that you'll fall off. Anyone can move sliders and apply software filters to the point where the alleged subject of the scene is completely overshadowed, and the loudest thing the image can scream is "look how weird I look"! Those are a dime a dozen. But "straight out of camera" results are often worse. To use such a blunt instrument as a digital camera and recover the scene, allowing the essence of the subject and of moment shine through, that is a rare and valuable accomplishment indeed.
Your work is astonishing. Always look forward to what's next.
Thanks +Bren Redmond. Me too… whatever happens tomorrow is what's next, and I can't wait to see what that will be! Living in the Eastern Sierra is like opening presents on my birthday… every day.
Love, love, love.
Terrific, as always!
Beautiful +Jeff Sullivan

When I was a girl people called it The Sun of the deaths. I think it is one of the spectacles of Nature we can enjoy. Some weeks ago I could see it again in Puerto Rico.
Nice

I believe you. I had seen many similar images in PR.
