June and July are already nothing but memories. August starts, and brings with it the beginning to the end of summer in the high country.

This exposure was tough for me, unfortunately it is beyond my processing skills to avoid the dark tree tops. When I get some free time I plan to sit down and learn some new tricks to correct these issues. The good news, I'll always have the RAW file to go back and improve when I do. Still, I felt like this one was worth posting.

Canon 5D. 17-40 L. 2SS, 3SS stacked GND filters.

Twin Peaks Wilderness, Utah.

Dude, this looks awesome!! The tree tops don't really subtract too much, since you have such awesome colors and a solid comp. Using the super dark mask on a screen blend didn't work to brighten those up?

Thanks man, I was up hiking w some friends and took my camera along in case the sky did anything worth shooting. I was stoked to see this wildflower patch line of w the clouds. Your technique would work perfect for this but I need to sit down and learn the damn thing. I haven't had any time so I reverted to my old work flow. I'm thinking about shooting the albion basin this weekend, you got plans?

I have a century ride at Mt Shasta on sunday so I'm heading out of town tonight. Good luck at Albion, though. I'll be hitting up Mossbrae Falls tomorrow with the Fuji - I can't wait to see how the film turns out.

Have you checked out Ian Plant's video tutorials? He's got some great methods for blending multiple exposures that should prevent dark tree tops.

Not yet, I need to carve out some time to learn these techniques. A friend of mine who shoots locally showed me some great stuff w luminosity masks that would work well, I just need to practice and apply them.

Luminosity masks are definitely key.
