Just a quick update with a new image from my recent camping trip to Iron Lakes. This was made at one of the higher lakes, in the middle of the day. Don't buy into the idea that you should only take the camera out at the "golden hours". If you're aware of the light, and take the time to look, good images can be made at any time. Always carry your camera!
As a side note, this image was processed 100% in Lightroom 2. This is pretty unusual for me, as my goal is always the absolute best quality, I find that every image needs fine adjustments that can only be done in Photoshop. But, for now, I'm quite pleased with the results that I've achieved from Lightroom. I'm sure that if I decide to pursue this image as a fine print that I will end up taking it into Photoshop. At this moment though, I can't find a reason to.
What are your thoughts? Do you always take an image to Photoshop? Or do you find that, often times, Lightroom is enough.
