I think this is Bradley Peak, on the far site of Turnagain arm

Monday, driving home: had spend dinner with my folks at the Bird Creek campground (it’s all of 20 minutes south of Anchorage).

It was about 9pm – golden hour was just beginning.  For some reason, the color version came out extremely blue and flat, despite the angles and the shadows.  So I dropped it into Photoshop and opened NIK Silver Efex.  A basic conversion, but I added some noise, burned in the top edge a little, and slapped on a red lens conversion.

Instant drama.

It was interesting, this reminds me of Ansel Adam’s famous shot of the half-dome.  In his book Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs, he mentions that he used a red filter on that image.
