Road to Abiquiu, New Mexico from Santa Fe.

It is amazing how finding a new tool--in this case Nik HDR Efex--can totally change an old shot. I was going through my old photos looking for examples to show of "rules for shooting landscapes" in my newsletter, and going a little crazy with "makeovers." This is one from 2009.

Amazing what this did to me Michelle, I knew right off where this was. We were out there in '07. This turned out beautiful. I wonder how many of my old pictures need a tune up, to many I am afraid. #9580931
