...a winter drive....

Uploaded: February 03, 2006 05:49:30

Description

ND Grad filter on camera.
Shot in RAW and then processed with saturation increased using C1.
In PS, I used basic color correction/enhancement (levels, etc).
On the sky only, a filter called Digital Gem Pro was used to soften the appearance.
Made in Vermont.
