Description

I stopped at Forest Park in Springfield, MA yesterday... can't believe they charged me $4 to drive into the park!!

But anyway, it was WELL worth the cost :) Got some incredable shots... This will be the first of a series.

Also figured out some new processing techniques tonight... this one is a single RAW file, processed 2x & gradient mapped with adj levels for each layer & overall.... but it's done a bit different than any of my other 2xRAW gradient mapped images...

(*N&L*)
Now to get to bed.... :D

Beautiful, David!! Amazing light!!

They charge to get into our metroparks here too, but I just buy an annual $20 pass -- well worth it to photograph there all year! #6413655
