3 Graces Night

Description

I went to Garden of the Gods this past weekend and was excited about 2 shots in particular, this being one of them. I took it about an hour after the sun had set and the whole day was overcast and snowy. This image I pushed at ISO 200, for 1 min 45 sec, and with no auto focus cuz it was so dark. I was so excited to develop it, but when I went to download it to my computer, the image was CORRUPTED! I couldn't BELIEVE it! Of the 150+ images I took, 3 images were corrupted, and of course one of the 2 shots I was excited about the most was corrupted. So after trying two different recovery programs and spending about 2 hours total trying to save the image, I got it back and was able to develop it!

If the colors look funky, it should... That's the kind of cool effect you get when you wait to shoot in no light situations, then squeeze every last photon out of setting before pitch black comes on a moonless night. Not a whole lot of post developing here, a little fill light to get the whole image to have the same exposure value, but that's about it!

More to come from the Colorado Springs Trip...!
