Red Rock ... in B&W :-)

[ejm]

If you like playing RAW with desert red rock, you might enjoy working with this shot I took a few years back while near Moab, Utah. Used my Canon T4i and a Sigma 8-16mm wide zoom back then, inviting the sun flare for a sense of heat (though it wasn’t that hot in mid-June).

For me, B&W seems the more intriguing, less cliche’d avenue. But your mileage may vary…

Thanks for sharing this image.
I decided to go from the sublime to the ridiculous and exaggerate the colours!

@david Looks much hotter than I remember it!
