High Desert Sunset
« on: March 18, 2016, 17:22:25 »
Here's a sunset photo that I took last March.  Processed in style that is not for everyone, but I kind of like it.  :)  Taken in Apple Valley, California with a Nikon D800E and a 50mm 1.4D.

I believe that I used center priority exposure on this one and did further exposure adjustments in PP with LR. 

TY for the kind comments!

Hahahaha!  I like that description Jakov! 

It kind of reminds me of a photo on glass.  :)
