As most photography buffs and National Park aficionados will note, Ansel Adams chronicled the major sites of Yosemite National Park. His technique of spending hours in the darkroom is legendary. He was an expert craftsman.
I am not comparing myself to Ansel Adams or any other accomplished photographer, but from this post forward and from time-to-time, I thought I would put a different spin on some of the Yosemite scenes. There will, of course, be some that may be similar to those I have shared in prior posts.
This will provide a different perspective and style to the pictures captured. I hope JBRish readers will enjoy them. The picture above has had a number of filters applied via Lightroom to give Half Dome that old fashioned appearance.
For the sake of interest, I will also post the original picture at the end of the descriptions for comparison purposes and to validate the Meta Data provided.
This (above) is the original photograph prior to applying the filters in Lightroom
Which of the two pictures do you like better?
