Thank you Barb. I did do some processing to this shot. It got a slight crop as I fit it into my usual blog scale of 16:10. I did some dodge/burn to adjust the shadow lines and better define the distant peaks. The grain is mostly a byproduct of hiking with a point and shoot camera with a small CCD sensor. When I get zoomed out the image gets grainy. Then it gets accentuated a bit when I tweak the photo. So it is a decision to tweak like I did and accept the graininess...
I mean, uh, yeah... I did the graininess on purpose. ;)
This is my near daily photography web log. I got interested in photography in high school and have been taking shots ever since. I am still developing techniques and honing my eye. I tend to gravitate toward macro shots, small subjects and low perspective. Have fun digging through the blog and looking at old posts. You will see that I have worked through different processing, framing and display techniques along the way. It's all in an effort to learn something new. All of these photos were taken with minimal equipment and consumer level cameras. You can do any of this with your camera too. Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment or ask a question. Let's learn this stuff together.

That's lovely. Did you photoshop it a little for the grainy effect?
